BBQ catering for Sutton
Sutton: your questions answered
How far is Sutton from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Should we have every meat?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Sutton. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Can you do halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
BBQ catering in Sutton, served hot
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. Whether it’s work barbecues and informal weddings, we can cook pulled pork, halloumi skewers and beef burgers.
In a small place like Sutton, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

The menu, dish by dish
Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, so they keep the queue moving.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Sutton
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The venue or postcode
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
A catered BBQ in Sutton: what to know
Sutton is about 9 miles north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Hosts in Sutton book us for events of all sizes. We bring barbecues to all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 22 miles away.
For guests coming by train, the closest railway station is Amberley station, roughly 3.7 miles south-east of the centre. If the day starts at a church like The Parish Church of the Holy Cross, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. Sutton is within about 4 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.
For events in RH20, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook. Other places close to Sutton we cover include Duncton (2 miles north-west), East Lavington (2 miles north-west), Rotherbridge (3 miles north), Graffham (3 miles north-west) and Haslingbourne (3 miles north). Larger places within reach include Worthing (12 miles south-east), Bognor Regis (10 miles south), Chichester (9 miles south-west), Selsey (15 miles south-west), Littlehampton (9 miles south-east) and Lancing (14 miles south-east).
A little further out are Coultershaw Heritage Site (2.9 miles north) and Arundel and District Hospital (5.3 miles south-east). The countryside around Sutton includes Bignor Hill and Amberley Wild Brooks.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
