About our BBQ catering in Brook
Some hosts in Brook pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Typical bookings include neighbourhood parties and fundraising days, serving pulled pork, beef burgers and chicken skewers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Brook makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Questions from Brook
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Brook?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What meats do you barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. At midsummer, it is light in Brook until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:10pm.
