Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. By late September, sunset in Canada is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm your menu choices in good time

Planning help
A barbecue or other catering?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
FAQs for Canada
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Canada?
The closest is Romsey station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
Can you cater in Canada?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Before you choose a spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
