BBQ catering in Boarhunt, cooked on site
In Boarhunt, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We serve sausages, beef brisket and beef burgers, and we are regularly asked to cater engagement and anniversary parties and birthdays and milestone parties.
In a small place like Boarhunt, 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 handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Step by step
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. By late September, sunset in Boarhunt is about 7:10pm; in December it’s about 4:00pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

Questions from Boarhunt
How far is Boarhunt from London?
About 63 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Boarhunt?
Portchester station, about 1.6 miles south-east of the centre.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Let us know how many to expect.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- An itemised quote
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
Read how we price and menu ideas for your barbecue.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
