BBQ catering in Titsey, cooked on site
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. Popular choices include sausages, beef burgers and pulled pork, and typical bookings are for leaving and retirement parties and cricket, football and rugby club days.
Near Titsey, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
Step by step
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. For an evening barbecue in Titsey, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Planning the cooking spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
