Barbecues in Worthing: gardens, clubs and local tips

Worthing is in West Sussex. Thinking about a catered barbecue in Worthing? We can help. Worthing is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Worthing to Brighton (about 12 miles away).

If you had Durrington Minature Railway in mind, ask the council or landowner first: barbecues are frequently restricted in parks. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Durrington High School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser. With the coast within about 2 miles of Worthing, wind is the thing to plan for: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.

Wherever your event is in BN13, BN11, BN14 and BN12, we can cook on site for your guests. From Church Road, Market Place and High Street or anywhere nearby, we will bring the barbecue to you. Worthing is on the A24 and A27, which makes the journey straightforward. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Salvington (1 mile north), Offington (1 mile north-east), Broadwater (1 mile east), Findon Valley (2 miles north) and East Worthing (2 miles east). We also serve nearby towns such as Bognor Regis (13 miles west), Burgess Hill (15 miles north-east), Littlehampton (6 miles west), Shoreham-by-Sea (6 miles east), Lancing (3 miles east) and Rustington (5 miles west). As one of the bigger places in West Sussex, Worthing has plenty of venues, halls and workplaces.

Nearby you will also find The Acre (1.2 miles south-east) and Old Castle (within half a mile east). Open spaces near Worthing include Highdown Hill and Widewater Lagoon.

  • Local schools include Thomas A Becket First School (within half a mile north-east) and Thomas A Becket Infant School (under half a mile north-east)
  • Nearby, you will find The George And Dragon Public House (within half a mile east)

Planning the cooking spot

The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:

  • Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
  • Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
  • Parking near the grill

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Worthing

What’s the nearest station to Worthing?

The closest is West Worthing station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

Can you do a barbecue in Durrington Minature Railway?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

How soon do you get booked up?

Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?

We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.

Should we have every meat?

You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we’ll advise on the rest.

Does rain stop the barbecue?

The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.

Do you provide china?

We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

Is clearing up included?

We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. China is available on request.

How to plan a catered barbecue

For planners, venues and organisers

Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.

If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.

Planning for dietary needs

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

  • Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
  • Give us numbers for the meat-free options

Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.

China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to:

  • How many people are eating
  • Access to the cooking area
  • The journey to the venue
  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays

When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Details that help

When you get in touch, please mention:

  • The date and time of the event
  • Where the event is
  • Allergies we should know about
  • Roughly how many people

Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Step by step

A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. By late September, sunset in Worthing is about 7:05pm; in December it’s about 4:00pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

  1. Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
  2. We confirm it works and send a quote.
  3. We grill outdoors at your event.
  4. Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
  5. We clear up so you do not have to.

Preparing for the day

  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
  • Give us a contact number for the day
  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Getting a price

Send us the date, the address or BN13 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.

  • A choice of salads and potatoes
  • Serving and clearing done for you
  • Meat-free choices on every menu

See our prices page or BBQ menu ideas.

  • Cooked on site by our chef, outdoors under cover
  • Six barbecue meats to choose from
  • Meat-free choices cooked separately
