BBQ catering in Uckfield, served hot
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Uckfield: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We serve beef brisket, halloumi skewers and sausages, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer staff days and family celebrations.
A summer barbecue at a club or school in Uckfield is a popular fundraiser, and the grill can go on the edge of the field or in the car park. Get the go-ahead from the site first. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Uckfield station, in Uckfield itself.
How do you handle food safety?

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
