How our BBQ catering works in Droxford
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll work to it. For team days and staff summer parties and leaving parties, we can cook halloumi skewers, sausages and coleslaw and more.
Country barbecues near Droxford are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
How it works
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. A summer barbecue in Droxford 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.

For event organisers in Droxford
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Why us?
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
