About our BBQ catering in Andover
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We are often asked to cater club open days and community fun days, with BBQ ribs, beef burgers and sausages.
In Andover, barbecues are booked for parties, work days and club events. Wherever it is, there needs to be an outdoor spot to cook, with cover overhead. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.

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. A summer barbecue in Andover stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
