BBQ catering in Charlton, cooked on site
Some hosts in Charlton pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. We can quote for either or both. We’re frequently asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and engagement and anniversary parties, with chicken skewers, halloumi skewers and beef brisket.
In a small place like Charlton, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is ready to serve from the start of service, so nobody waits for the grill.
The process
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. In Charlton, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your guests

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Charlton
Which station is closest to Charlton?
Andover station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Charlton 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.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Charlton. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Should we have every meat?
Not typically. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
