Planning a barbecue in Bull Hill
Bull Hill is about 2 miles north-east of Lymington, in Hampshire. We’re happy to travel to Bull Hill for events and the places nearby. We cover 683 places in Hampshire. We cater events right across the region, from Bull Hill to Southampton (about 11 miles away).
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Lymington Town station, about 1.8 miles south-west. PTAs at schools such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School often look for a barbecue for fairs and sports days. The New Forest National Park is within about 4 miles of Bull Hill, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first. With the coast within about 3 miles of Bull Hill, wind is the thing to plan for: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
How it works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. By late September, sunset in Bull Hill is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
- Let us know about tight access

Bull Hill: your questions answered
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.

What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
After service, our staff clear up, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
