How our BBQ catering works in Steyning
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Typical bookings include reunions and family get-togethers and birthdays and milestone parties, serving beef burgers, chicken skewers and halloumi skewers.
In a place like Steyning, a barbecue at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Steyning
Which station is closest to Steyning?
Lancing station, about 4.1 miles south of the centre.
Is Steyning close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What do children usually eat?
Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.

Steyning barbecues: local tips
Steyning is about 4 miles north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. Steyning and the surrounding area are covered for events. We bring barbecues to all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Steyning to Brighton (about 9 miles away).
If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Lancing station, about 4.1 miles south. Churches such as Jarvis Hall rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby normally does. The sea is within about 5 miles of Steyning, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
Wherever your event is in BN44, we can bring the barbecue to you. Local streets include High Street, Market Field and Dog Lane; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- Six meats to choose from
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Our staff serve and clear
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
See our prices page and BBQ menu ideas.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or BN44 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. A summer barbecue in Steyning stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Send final numbers in good time
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Ask which items contain gluten
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Space for our vehicle nearby
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
