A barbecue near Fordingbridge
BBQ catering in Fordingbridge, served hot
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Tell us about the space in Fordingbridge and we will check it works. Popular choices include chicken skewers, pulled pork and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater summer staff days and birthdays and milestone parties.
Around Fordingbridge, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there is no need to borrow a grill.
