BBQ catering in Forest Corner, cooked on site
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Tell us your rough numbers and we’ll plan the menu and service. Typical bookings include school fairs and summer fêtes and street parties, serving beef burgers, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
Near Forest Corner, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
What happens on the day
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. For an evening barbecue in Forest Corner, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

Forest Corner: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Forest Corner?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Do you cover Forest Corner?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
BBQ ribs
Glazed ribs turn a barbecue into a proper spread, served alongside the burgers and sausages.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Planned to your running order
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
