How our BBQ catering works in Cosham
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. For leaving parties and street parties, we can cook sausages, beef burgers and pulled pork.
Around Cosham, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, and you will not spend it cooking. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

What we serve, dish by dish
Pulled pork
Pulled pork in a roll with coleslaw is hard to beat, filling and easy to eat.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
What the cooking area needs
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
How it works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. A summer barbecue in Cosham stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:10pm.
- 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.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Include children in your numbers
- Let us know about tight access
- Think about shelter for your guests

Common questions in Cosham
What’s the nearest station to Cosham?
Cosham has its own station: Cosham station.
Can you do a barbecue in Alexandra Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up. China is available on request.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
