BBQ catering in Tangmere
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
BBQ catering in Tangmere, cooked on site
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. For garden parties and family celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of chicken skewers, beef brisket and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In a place like Tangmere, a barbecue at home is normally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will bring everything else. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Timed around your day
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. Evening barbecues in Tangmere need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Tangmere questions
What’s the nearest station to Tangmere?
Chichester station, about 3.2 miles south-west of the centre.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service. China is available on request.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.

What comes off the grill
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Tangmere
- Season and day of the week

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