BBQ catering for Bursledon
BBQ catering in Bursledon, cooked on site
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We serve chicken skewers, coleslaw and beef burgers, and we’re frequently booked for close and cul-de-sac parties and sports clubs and team events.
For a barbecue in Bursledon, the garden is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Bursledon is about 2 miles south of Hedge End, in Hampshire. Planning a catered barbecue in Bursledon? We cover the whole area. Bursledon is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we cater.
A green space like Westwood Woodland Park is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. Within reach of Bursledon are historic houses such as Medieval Merchant's House (4 miles west) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (4.1 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early.

Bursledon: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue in Westwood Woodland Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there is enough.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
