Common questions in Streat
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.
Is Streat too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
BBQ catering in Streat, cooked on site
Some hosts in Streat pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Typical bookings include leaving and retirement parties and sports clubs and team events, with chicken skewers, BBQ ribs and halloumi skewers.
Country barbecues near Streat are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

What else we do in Streat
What happens on the day
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. In Streat, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Include children in your numbers
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Request gluten-free rolls
After service, our staff clear up, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.

Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
