The process
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Evening barbecues in West Thorney need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Give us a contact number for the day

Barbecues in West Thorney: gardens, clubs and local tips
West Thorney is about 5 miles south-east of Havant, in West Sussex. Hosts in West Thorney book us for events of all sizes. We cater all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex. We cater events right across the region, from West Thorney to Southampton (about 22 miles away).
A green space like Eames Farm is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. Churches such as The Parish Church of St Nicholas rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby generally does. With the coast within about 4 miles of West Thorney, wind is the thing to plan for: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- A spot well clear of buildings
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

FAQs for West Thorney
Could you cook in Eames Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
Do you cover West Thorney?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Can you do halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

- Rules from the venue or landowner
