Questions from Whatlington
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Whatlington from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What does the venue need to provide?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.
Do you come to Whatlington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Whatlington and the rest of East Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
