BBQ catering in Hampshire: what to expect

BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. Our chef grills on site in Hampshire, under cover, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include leaving and retirement parties and summer staff days, with coleslaw, beef burgers and halloumi skewers.

Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away.

  1. Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
  2. We check it and send a price.
  3. On the day, we cook on site under cover.
  4. Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
  5. We clear up so you don’t have to.

BBQ catering across Hampshire

From Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport to 538 villages and hamlets, barbecues across Hampshire range from town gardens to club fields, and a catered barbecue works in all of them. The grill just needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. The New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Hampshire, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles. 143 of the places we cover in Hampshire are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Basingstoke: A green space like Eastrop Park is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. For anyone arriving by rail, Basingstoke station is about 0.6 miles away. At midsummer, it’s light in Basingstoke until about 9:25pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:10pm.

Space, access and the venue

Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

  • Parking near the grill
  • Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
  • Permission from the venue or landowner

Planners, venues and businesses

Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:

  • Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
  • Ask which items contain gluten
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food

The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.

China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How we price a catered barbecue

We work out each quote from:

  • Numbers
  • Distance from us
  • The date and time of year
  • Crockery choices

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Details that help

Here’s what we will ask:

  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Roughly how many people
  • Dietary requirements
  • The address or postcode

Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.

Is a barbecue right for you?

Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?.

Questions to ask before you book

  • When payments are due and what happens if plans change
  • Whether VAT is included
  • A clear list of what’s included
  • Any travel or access charges

FAQs for Hampshire

What can we have at a catered barbecue?

Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.

Do you come to Hampshire?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.

When should we book BBQ catering?

Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: send us your details through our quote form.

Is a barbecue good for children?

Typically, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.

Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?

Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.

Can you barbecue in bad weather?

The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
