Questions from Tillington
Is Tillington too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
Do you cover Tillington?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
How many meats should we choose?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we will advise on the rest.
What does the venue need to provide?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as Petworth Cof E Primary School, frequently want a barbecue. Nearby historic houses include Petworth House (0.8 miles east) and Cowdray House (4.4 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early.
