What affects the price in Finkley Down
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Finkley Down
Which station is closest to Finkley Down?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Is Finkley Down too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Finkley Down. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
What meats do you barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Typically, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
What comes off the grill
Beef burgers
Our chef grills beef burgers to order, hot off the barbecue.
BBQ ribs
Glazed ribs turn a barbecue into a proper spread, alongside the other meats.
What happens on the day
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. In Finkley Down, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A clear way in from where we park
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
