Binsted barbecues: local tips
Binsted is about 4 miles east of Alton, in Hampshire. Events in Binsted are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Binsted is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 15 miles away.
If the day starts at a church like Church of the Holy Cross, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. For guests coming by train, Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 1.5 miles north-east, is the nearest station. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Binsted, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
Anywhere in GU34, we can bring the barbecue to you. Local streets include The Street and Lovell Gardens; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Isington (1 mile north), Blacknest (1 mile north-east), Bucks Horn Oak (2 miles east), Frithend (2 miles east) and Kingsley (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Basingstoke (12 miles north-west), Farnborough (10 miles north-east), Fleet (8 miles north), Aldershot (8 miles north-east), Alton (4 miles west) and Petersfield (11 miles south).

BBQ catering in Binsted, served hot
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a picture of the space and we will confirm it. For big birthday parties and sports clubs and team events, we can cook beef burgers, sausages and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Binsted, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

FAQs for Binsted
Is Binsted close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Binsted too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Use our quote form.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Step by step
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving for as long as we have agreed. In Binsted, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a fixed venue menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
