Step by step
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. A summer barbecue in West Blatchington stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.

West Blatchington: your questions answered
Which station is closest to West Blatchington?
The closest is Aldrington station, roughly 0.7 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 will follow the site rules.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What do children generally eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
