How our BBQ catering works in Telscombe
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We’re often asked to cater sports clubs and team events and fundraising days, serving pulled pork, beef burgers and chicken skewers.
For a barbecue in Telscombe, the garden is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Telscombe
Can you barbecue near the sea around Telscombe?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the nearest station to Telscombe?
Southease station, about 2.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
What do children generally eat?
Burgers and sausages are typically the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.

The process
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Sunset in Telscombe is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
