About our BBQ catering in Chandler's Ford
In Chandler's Ford, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. On the menu are coleslaw, beef burgers and BBQ ribs, and typical bookings are for leaving and retirement parties and garden parties.
A summer barbecue at a club or school in Chandler's Ford is a popular fundraiser, with the grill set up beside the field or car park. Get the go-ahead from the site first. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. Autumn and winter barbecues in Chandler's Ford get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
