BBQ catering in Fareham, served hot
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, well clear of walls, marquee sides and trees. Send us a picture of the space and we will confirm it. We’re frequently asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and community fun days, serving coleslaw, sausages and halloumi skewers.
In Fareham, barbecues are booked for parties, work days and club events. The common need is a spot outside for the grill. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
