About the food

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

How our BBQ catering works in Aldworth
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. Pick the meats that suit your guests. Whether it is garden parties and Fêtes, fairs and sports days, we can cook pulled pork, sausages and BBQ ribs and more.
In a small place like Aldworth, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order, and nothing sits out all afternoon. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why Aldworth hosts choose us
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- An itemised quote
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.

Halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage
In Aldworth, we cook barbecues for all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Fundraising barbecues
- Team days and staff summer parties

Churches such as St Mary's church rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby usually does.

Aldworth: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Aldworth?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
What do children generally eat?
Burgers and sausages are usually the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: use our quote form.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We bring cover for the grill, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Parking near the grill
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- How easy it is to reach the spot

How it works
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. Evening barbecues in Aldworth need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
