BBQ catering for your event in Whitehawk
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Whitehawk: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. Whether it’s summer parties in the garden and cricket, football and rugby club days, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and coleslaw.
In a place like Whitehawk, a barbecue at home is typically the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Barbecue venues around Whitehawk
Whitehawk is about 1 mile south-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Events in Whitehawk are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Whitehawk is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove we cover.
For a fundraiser at a school like City Academy Whitehawk, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school. Parks such as Whitehawk Hill frequently have rules on barbecues, so check with the council or landowner first. Whitehawk is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.

The process
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. A summer barbecue in Whitehawk stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- Show us the space.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
