BBQ catering for Warbleton
How our BBQ catering works in Warbleton
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We are often asked to cater club open days and reunions and family get-togethers, with halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and beef burgers.
In a small place like Warbleton, 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 handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Nearby historic houses include Horselunges Manor (4 miles south). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before you book.

Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.

The process
When we arrive, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. By late September, sunset in Warbleton is about 7:00pm; in December it is about 3:55pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

About the food
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, so they keep the queue moving.
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the cooking is in experienced hands. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Parking near the grill
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
