How our BBQ catering works in Chilbolton
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. Popular choices include sausages, chicken skewers and coleslaw, and we are frequently booked for family celebrations and close and cul-de-sac parties.
In a small place like Chilbolton, 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. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
How it works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. Sunset in Chilbolton is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Chilbolton
Could you cook in Longstock Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Chilbolton?
Andover station, about 4.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
What do children generally eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
When should we book BBQ catering?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are normally easier to get. Fill in our quote form.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
