BBQ catering in Bentworth, served hot
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, because there’s beef, chicken and pork to choose from, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Typical bookings include 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, with beef burgers, BBQ ribs and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Bentworth, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Your questions about a catered barbecue in Bentworth
Is Bentworth too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Bentworth?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Plan shelter for your guests.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.

How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. Evening barbecues in Bentworth need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating

We’re booked for all kinds of occasions in Bentworth and nearby. Popular bookings include:
- Back-garden get-togethers
- Family celebrations
- Work barbecues
- Neighbourhood parties
Within reach of Bentworth are historic houses such as Hall Place (less than half a mile south-west) and Bentworth Hall (0.7 miles south). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether plates or china are included
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- Travel and any London charges
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
What comes off the grill
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Beef brisket
Beef brisket is slow-cooked and sliced, for a more substantial plate.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Planned to your running order
