BBQ catering in Stone Cross, cooked on site
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Popular choices include beef brisket, beef burgers and sausages, and we are frequently booked for fundraising days and back-garden get-togethers.
For a barbecue in Stone Cross, the garden is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Common questions in Stone Cross
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Stone Cross?
Pevensey & Westham station, about 1.3 miles east of the centre.
Do you label the food for allergies?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What do children typically eat?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
Do you offer halal meat?
We do not. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are usually easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. In Stone Cross, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
