BBQ catering for Eastleigh
BBQ catering in Eastleigh, cooked on site
For bigger events in Eastleigh, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we will quote for both. Popular choices include beef burgers, beef brisket and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater community fun days and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays.
Sports clubs and schools around Eastleigh often host summer barbecues, and the grill can go on the edge of the field or in the car park. Get the go-ahead from the site first. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
For event organisers in Eastleigh
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Eastleigh questions
Could you cook in Lakeside Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Eastleigh?
Eastleigh has its own station: Eastleigh station.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
What do children usually eat?
Generally, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
Do you need anything from us?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Do you cover Eastleigh?
Yes, Eastleigh is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A spot well clear of buildings
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
