BBQ catering in Cadnam, cooked on site
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, well clear of walls, marquee sides and trees. Send us a picture of the space and we’ll confirm it. For engagement and anniversary parties and work barbecues, we will put together a menu of beef burgers, BBQ ribs and pulled pork and more.
Country barbecues near Cadnam are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What affects the price in Cadnam
Each price is built from:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Six meats to choose from
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option

Cadnam: your questions answered
Is Cadnam too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Cadnam?
Ashurst New Forest station, about 3.1 miles south-east of the centre.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, worked around your serving time. Evening barbecues in Cadnam need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
