A barbecue near The Pound
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. At midsummer, it’s light in The Pound until about 9:15pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:00pm.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.

Planning help
BBQ catering in The Pound, cooked on site
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Tell us your rough numbers and we’ll plan the menu and service. Popular choices include coleslaw, beef burgers and chicken skewers, and typical bookings are for retirement do’s and school fairs and summer fêtes.
In a small place like The Pound, 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 plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- 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.

A catered BBQ in The Pound: what to know
The Pound is about 5 miles north-west of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. The Pound and the surrounding area are covered for events. We cover 289 places across East Sussex. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 23 miles away.
Churches such as Parish Church of St Peter rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby typically does. A green space like Ashburnham Park is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. The Pound is within about 7 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Why choose BBQ catering in The Pound?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it does not need a kitchen. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
