BBQ catering in Alverstone Garden Village, cooked on site
Some hosts in Alverstone Garden Village pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we will quote for both. Popular choices include coleslaw, halloumi skewers and BBQ ribs, and we’re frequently booked for summer parties in the garden and birthdays and milestone parties.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with ordering takeaway, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, and the grill becomes a gathering point. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

What happens on the day
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. For an evening barbecue in Alverstone Garden Village, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
