Event catering in Eastbourne, served hot
We always include meat-free choices: halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and barbecue chicken cover guests who don’t eat pork. Whether it’s birthdays and garden parties and residents’ days, we’ll put together a menu of pulled pork, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
In Eastbourne, we cater at offices, clubs, schools, homes and venues. Wherever it is, we need a level, open spot outdoors to cook. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

How it works
Our chef cooks and our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we tidy up and pack away. Late May in Eastbourne has light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer until about 9:15pm, which gives summer events long evenings.
- Tell us about the event: what it is, when and where.
- You get a menu suggestion and a price.
- We agree where we’ll cook.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Questions from Eastbourne
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Princes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater a small event?
Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest what works. For smaller numbers, a barbecue is frequently the best fit.
Do you only do hog roasts?
No: choose a hog roast, a barbecue or both, with vegetarian and vegan options on each.
Do you work with wedding planners and venues?
Yes. We are happy to agree access, timings and the cooking spot with your venue or planner.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Do you cater indoors?
We cook outdoors under cover, but we can often serve inside if the venue agrees. Check with your venue.
What kind of caterers are you?
We cook on site at your event: hog roast and BBQ menus, with meat-free options. Our staff serve and clear.

What catering costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Our chef cooks and our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving.
