Common questions in Badshot Lea
What’s the nearest station to Badshot Lea?
Aldershot station, about 1.2 miles north of the centre.
Is Badshot Lea close to London?
About 34 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Use our quote form.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Can you do halal?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- A full barbecue menu
- Served at the time you choose
- Add a hog roast alongside
