BBQ catering in Eastrop, served hot
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, because there is beef, chicken and pork to choose from, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Whether it’s summer parties in the garden and evening wedding food, we can cook BBQ ribs, beef brisket and halloumi skewers and more.
In a place like Eastrop, a barbecue at home is normally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will bring everything else. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Eastrop: your questions answered
Is Eastrop close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Eastrop?
Eastrop has its own station: Basingstoke station.
Is the meat halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are normally easier to get. Use our quote form.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
How much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, so the barbecue is ready when you are. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Evening barbecues in Eastrop need a little planning: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
