About our BBQ catering in Crow
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. You choose the mix that suits your event. Typical bookings include fundraising barbecues and birthdays and milestone parties, with halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and BBQ ribs.
Near Crow, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
What happens on the day
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Evening barbecues in Crow need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Common questions in Crow
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Crow too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Is the food cooked safely?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
About the food
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Sausages
Barbecued sausages are always popular, in a roll or on a plate.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
- Grilled at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- A full barbecue menu, not just burgers
- Meat-free choices cooked separately
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
