BBQ catering for your event in Bishopstoke
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a photo of the space and we will confirm it. Typical bookings include back-garden get-togethers and charity fundraisers, serving BBQ ribs, sausages and chicken skewers.
For a barbecue in Bishopstoke, the garden is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
The process
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. Autumn and winter barbecues in Bishopstoke get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, 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 you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
Common questions in Bishopstoke
What’s the nearest station to Bishopstoke?
The closest is Eastleigh station, roughly 1 mile away.
Could you cook in Lakeside Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What do children typically eat?
Burgers and sausages are typically the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
Can you cater in Bishopstoke?
Yes, Bishopstoke is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.

Bishopstoke is about 1 mile east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. We cover Bishopstoke and its neighbours for events. We bring barbecues to all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire.
A green space like Lakeside Country Park is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. Within reach of Bishopstoke are historic houses such as South Stoneham House (3 miles south-west). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before booking.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with ordering takeaway, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, with the smell drawing people over. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
