Crowdhill questions
Is Crowdhill close to London?
About 63 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Crowdhill?
Eastleigh station, about 2.2 miles west of the centre.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Use our quote form.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you come to Crowdhill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Crowdhill and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
How our BBQ catering works in Crowdhill
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we’ll plan around it. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, pulled pork and chicken skewers, and we’re often booked for sports clubs and team events and relaxed weddings and evening receptions.
A barbecue in the countryside near Crowdhill makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

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. Get that agreed before booking.

Why choose BBQ catering in Crowdhill?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
