About our BBQ catering in Battramsley
For bigger events in Battramsley, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. Ask and we will quote for both. We serve chicken skewers, BBQ ribs and coleslaw, and we’re often booked for summer parties in the garden and leaving parties.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Battramsley
Which station is closest to Battramsley?
The closest is Sway station, roughly 2 miles away.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you need anything from us?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
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.

Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
The process
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. Autumn and winter barbecues in Battramsley get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:05pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Think about shelter for your guests
