A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. What you choose to eat matters most: 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’ll suggest a menu.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades

- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Request gluten-free rolls
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

The process
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. For an evening barbecue in Crookham, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
