BBQ catering in Strettington

BBQ catering in Strettington, served hot

For bigger events in Strettington, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. We can quote for either or both. For big birthday parties and summer parties in the garden, we can cook beef burgers, pulled pork and halloumi skewers.

In a small place like Strettington, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

For event organisers in Strettington

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

Space, access and the venue

Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:

  • The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
  • Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
  • A wet-weather plan for your guests

Strettington: your questions answered

Is Strettington 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.

What about windy coastal sites?

Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.

When should we book BBQ catering?

The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are normally easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.

Can you do a hog roast as well?

Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.

What do you need from the venue?

Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll check anything else with you.

Can you barbecue in bad weather?

We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.

What can we have at a catered barbecue?

You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.

Can we have a barbecue in winter?

The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.

Planning a barbecue in Strettington

Strettington is about 2 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Strettington is well within our area for events and the places nearby. Strettington is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cater. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 26 miles away.

Churches such as St Andrew's Church rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby generally does. Nearby historic houses include Goodwood House (0.9 miles north-west) and West Dean House (3.8 miles north-west). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. The sea is within about 6 miles of Strettington, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.

This part of West Sussex takes in PO18, so your event can be anywhere in it. Nearby, we also cater events in Westerton (1 mile west), Waterbeach (1 mile north), Maudlin (1 mile south-west), Boxgrove (1 mile east) and Tangmere (1 mile south-east).

How to plan a catered barbecue

Looking after everyone

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:

  • Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
  • Add a dietary question to the invitation
  • Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.

Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself

Next to a fixed venue menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Why us?

  • Our chef at the grill, not you
  • An itemised quote
  • A full barbecue menu
  • Add a hog roast alongside

Take a look at how we price and our barbecue menu ideas.

What affects the price in Strettington

Things that change the price:

  • Plates or china
  • Travel to Strettington
  • The number of people
  • The date and time of year

What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

Getting an accurate quote

To check the date and the space, we’ll need:

  • An estimate of numbers
  • Any venue rules
  • Any dietary needs or allergies
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.

Step by step

One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. For an evening barbecue in Strettington, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

  1. Tell us what kind of event it is.
  2. We suggest a menu and send a quote.
  3. We set up the grill before food time.
  4. We serve as people come up.
  5. We tidy up before we go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
  • Think about where the smoke will drift
  • Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
