Walberton: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Walberton?
The closest is Barnham station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you cover Walberton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Walberton and the rest of West Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

A barbecue or other catering?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
