BBQ catering in Brockenhurst, served hot
In Brockenhurst, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. On the menu are sausages, pulled pork and BBQ ribs, and we’re often booked for street parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a place like Brockenhurst, a barbecue at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

What happens on the day
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. In Brockenhurst, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why Brockenhurst hosts choose us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Cooked on site by our chef
- An itemised quote
