BBQ catering in Alderholt
The process
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then our chef cooks and the team serves for as long as we’ve agreed. Evening barbecues in Alderholt need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.

What BBQ catering costs
The price comes down to:
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Alderholt
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
