FAQs for Ashley Heath
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you come to Ashley Heath?
Yes, Ashley Heath is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
How do you handle food safety?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
What affects the price in Ashley Heath
The biggest factors are:
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
