BBQ catering for Bagnum
How our BBQ catering works in Bagnum
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we’ll work to it. Whether it is big birthday parties and street parties, we will put together a menu of beef brisket, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers.
Near Bagnum, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What affects the price in Bagnum
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a row of street-food vans, one catered barbecue keeps everyone eating together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Sides to make it a full meal

Bagnum: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Bagnum?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service. China is available on request.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. By late September, sunset in Bagnum is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 4:05pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
