BBQ catering in Deadwater, served hot
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Deadwater: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We are often asked to cater neighbourhood parties and birthdays and milestone parties, with beef burgers, sausages and halloumi skewers.
Around Deadwater, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A catered barbecue fits right in, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. By late September, sunset in Deadwater is about 7:05pm; in December it’s about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Getting ready for the day

PTAs at schools such as Mill Chase Academy frequently look for a barbecue for fairs and sports days. Coming by train? The closest railway station is Liphook station, roughly 3.6 miles south-east of the centre.

Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.

What BBQ catering costs
The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
