Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.

Common questions in Blissford
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.
Do you come out to small places like Blissford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
How many meats should we choose?
You do not need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we’ll advise on the rest.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What BBQ catering costs
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

The process
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. At midsummer, it’s light in Blissford until about 9:25pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
