Catering an event in Seaford

Planning an event in Seaford Head Nature Reserve? Any cooking there needs the landowner’s permission, usually the council’s. Historic houses near Seaford include Alfriston Clergy House (3 miles north-east) and Charleston Farmhouse (4.6 miles north). Historic venues frequently have approved caterer lists, so check early. Seaford is within about 3 miles of the South Downs National Park, so countryside venues are close by. Venues there may limit outside caterers, so ask about their rules first.

How the day works
We cook outdoors under cover, so a shower will not stop the food, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. For an evening event in Seaford, think about light: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, and send a quote.
- We agree where we’ll cook.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- The number of people
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
On the day, we arrive in good time and set up under cover, where we agreed with you or the venue.
Ask us to label the meat-free food.
