Event catering in Burgess Hill, served hot
Some caterers need a kitchen; we bring our own cooking to you. In Burgess Hill, that opens up gardens, fields, car parks and marquees. We are often asked to cater wakes and christmas parties, with salads, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Burgess Hill has halls, clubs, pubs and function venues, as well as plenty of gardens. Wherever there is room outside to cook, we can work, and we will check the venue is happy with an outside caterer. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

How the day works
We arrive with everything we need to cook and serve, and set up on the spot we agreed. From there, food is timed to your serving time. Around midsummer it stays light in Burgess Hill until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, and send a quote.
- We agree where we will cook.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We bring the cooking equipment with us, so you don’t need to borrow anything for the cooking.
Add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken to a hog roast.
What we cook
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
