BBQ catering for your event in Farnborough

Country barbecues near Farnborough are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Farnborough
How far is Farnborough from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater in Farnborough?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Farnborough and Oxfordshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Will children like the BBQ?
Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
Should we have every meat?
Not typically. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we’ll advise on the rest.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Why choose BBQ catering in Farnborough?
Cooked in front of your guests
People around Farnborough book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. Popular choices:
- Team days and staff summer parties
- Street parties
- Sports clubs and team events
- Family celebrations
Churches such as Church of All Saints rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby usually does.
Before booking anyone
- Travel and any London charges
- Allergen information for every dish
- Whether VAT is included
- The full menu and the sides
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask which items contain gluten
We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Instead of a takeaway delivery, a barbecue becomes part of the event, and the grill becomes a gathering point. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- A full barbecue menu
- Cooked on site by our chef
- An itemised quote
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
