About event catering in West Sussex

We always include meat-free choices: halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Lamb, chicken and beef options help when some guests do not eat pork. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and beef brisket, and we’re frequently booked for garden parties and weddings.

Our chef cooks and our staff serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area.

What it costs in West Sussex

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Around Crawley

Locally, our bookings take us close to Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, St Wilfrid's Catholic School and Tilgate Park. You will also find The George Hotel (within half a mile north), Three Bridges Junior School (within half a mile south-east) and St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School (less than half a mile south-east). Crawley has its own railway station: Crawley station. Other landmarks nearby include Crawley Hospital (0.5 miles north-west) and County Mall (under half a mile north-east). The countryside around Crawley includes Tilgate Lake.

Catering events across West Sussex

Across West Sussex, we cater events in the larger towns and neighbourhoods, from Crawley, Horsham and Worthing outwards, though we’ll travel to smaller villages too. Wherever it is, we need somewhere level outside to cook. 5 of the places we cover in West Sussex are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Crawley: After a wedding, christening or funeral at a church such as Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, we can cater at a hall, home or venue nearby. If guests are travelling by rail, Crawley station serves Crawley directly. Around midsummer it stays light in Crawley until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Before you choose a spot

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:

Clearance from walls, tents and overhanging branches
Flat ground outdoors for the cooking
The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer

Planners, venues and businesses

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Allergies and dietary needs

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

Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Count anyone who does not eat pork for the alternatives
Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

Running late? Let us know, and we will work around it.

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.

Prices and what affects them

The biggest factors are:

Site access
How many people are eating
Whether you want china
Travel to West Sussex

Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

How far ahead should we book caterers?

As soon as your date is fixed. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

Can we put you in touch with our venue?

Yes. Give us their contact details and we’ll agree the details with them.
