About our BBQ catering in Blackfield
There is something about a barbecue that gets people talking: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. In Blackfield, we will set up where it suits your event. Typical bookings include family celebrations and back-garden get-togethers, serving BBQ ribs, coleslaw and sausages.
In a place like Blackfield, a barbecue at home is generally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What happens on the day
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. Autumn and winter barbecues in Blackfield get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A clear way in from where we park
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How we price a catered barbecue
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
When you contact us, please mention:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode

FAQs for Blackfield
Can you barbecue near the sea around Blackfield?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
