BBQ catering in Freefolk, served hot
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. On the menu are pulled pork, beef burgers and sausages, and we are regularly asked to cater school fairs and summer fêtes and club open days.
In a small place like Freefolk, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there is no need to borrow a grill.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Freefolk barbecues: local tips
Freefolk is about 8 miles east of Andover, in Hampshire. We cover Freefolk and its neighbours for events. We bring barbecues to all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Freefolk to Reading (about 20 miles away).
For a fundraiser at a school like Testbourne Community School, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school. If the day starts at a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by.
Here we cover the RG28 postcode area. Local streets include London Road and Priory Lane; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. If your venue is just outside Freefolk, we also cover Wells-in-the-Field (1 mile west), Whitchurch (1 mile west), Cole Henley (2 miles north-west), Firgo (3 miles south-west) and Hurstbourne Priors (3 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Basingstoke (9 miles east), Winchester (12 miles south), Andover (8 miles west), Tadley (11 miles north-east), Hook (15 miles east) and Hyde (12 miles south).
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. In Freefolk, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about where the smoke will drift
How to get a price

Freefolk questions
Do you come out to small places like Freefolk?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Freefolk from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service. Ask if you’d like china.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
What comes off the grill
Sausages
Barbecued sausages are always popular, served in a roll or with sides.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is slow-cooked until it falls apart, piled into rolls, often with coleslaw.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
