Winchelsea barbecues: local tips
Winchelsea is about 7 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. We cover Winchelsea and its neighbours for events. Winchelsea is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 29 miles away.
Parks such as Rye Harbour LNR often have rules on barbecues, so check with the council or landowner first. If the day starts at a church like The Parish Church of St Thomas the Martyr, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. With the coast within about 3 miles of Winchelsea, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
For events in TN36, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook. Your event could be at a house on High Street, Barrack Square and Station Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook.

The process
When we arrive, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. In Winchelsea, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
