Your questions about a catered barbecue in Witherenden Hill
Is Witherenden Hill close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a barbecue in Wadhurst Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Do you come to Witherenden Hill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Witherenden Hill and the rest of East Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
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.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
What meats do you barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
