BBQ catering in East Anton
The process
We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. Autumn and winter barbecues in East Anton get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to East Anton
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Common questions in East Anton
How far is East Anton from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to East Anton?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
What does the venue need to provide?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Let us know how many to expect.
What meats do you barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
How many meats should we choose?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we will advise on the rest.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events

- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
