Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

How it works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. In Bassett Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Bassett Green is about 2 miles north of Southampton, in Southampton. Bassett Green and the surrounding area are covered for events. We cater all 40 towns and villages in Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.

Common questions in Bassett Green
Can you do a barbecue in Riverside Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How far is Bassett Green from London?
About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
Do you cover Bassett Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Bassett Green and Southampton. Send us the address for a quote.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
