BBQ catering for your event in Woolbeding
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, because there is beef, chicken and pork to choose from, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Popular choices include BBQ ribs, sausages and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for Fêtes, fairs and sports days and fundraising days.
Country barbecues near Woolbeding are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

PTAs at schools such as Stedham Primary School often look for a barbecue for fairs and sports days. After a christening at a church such as The Parish Church of All Hollows, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Woolbeding is within about 2 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.

Questions from Woolbeding
Is Woolbeding too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What do children usually eat?
Normally, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. At midsummer, it is light in Woolbeding until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.

About the food
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Crunchy coleslaw suits barbecue food, while salads keep it light.
Chicken skewers
Our chef grills chicken on skewers, a lighter choice than burgers.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
After service, our staff clear up, leaving the spot tidy.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
How we price a catered barbecue
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
Where the barbecue can go in Woolbeding
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
