How our BBQ catering works in Alverstoke
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. Our chef grills on site in Alverstoke, under cover, and our staff serve and clear. Whether it is summer staff days and evening wedding food, we can cook sausages, chicken skewers and pulled pork and more.
A barbecue in the countryside near Alverstoke makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What else we do in Alverstoke
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

A catered BBQ in Alverstoke: what to know
Alverstoke is about 2 miles south of Gosport, in Hampshire. Alverstoke and the surrounding area are covered for events. We bring barbecues to 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Alverstoke to Southampton (14 miles away).
If your garden is too small, a club or hall near Alverstoke with outdoor space frequently works. If the day starts at a church like The Little Church, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. The sea is within about 3 miles of Alverstoke, so breezy days are common: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
We bring barbecues to events all over the PO12 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean an event in a garden on The Lane, Fort Road and Church Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
