Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with ordering takeaway, a barbecue becomes part of the event, with the smell drawing people over. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

How our BBQ catering works in Wivelsfield Green
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. Typical bookings include community fun days and evening wedding food, serving beef brisket, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
In a small place like Wivelsfield Green, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Wivelsfield Green questions
How far is Wivelsfield Green from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Wivelsfield Green?
Wivelsfield station, about 2.1 miles west of the centre.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Wivelsfield Green. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are generally easier to get. Use our quote form.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
How it works
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, timed to when you want to eat. A summer barbecue in Wivelsfield Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.

- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

What comes off the grill
Chicken skewers

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Coleslaw is the natural partner for pulled pork, and salads add freshness.
