About the food
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is slow-cooked until it falls apart, and served in a soft roll, frequently with coleslaw.
Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, so they keep the queue moving alongside the slow-cooked meats.
What else we do in Aldershot
The process
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. Autumn and winter barbecues in Aldershot get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a DIY barbecue, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Our staff serve and clear

How we price a catered barbecue
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Questions from Aldershot
How far is Aldershot from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a barbecue in Princes Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Will children like the BBQ?
Burgers and sausages are normally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Can you do halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
