Questions from West Wittering
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to West Wittering?
Nutbourne station, about 4.6 miles north of the centre.
What does the venue need to provide?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are usually easier to get. Fill in our quote form.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- A full barbecue menu
- Served at the time you choose

The process
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. At midsummer, it is light in West Wittering until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.

- We check it and send a price.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
