Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will work around it where possible.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it is flexible. In Gosport, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests

Barbecues in Gosport: gardens, clubs and local tips
Gosport is about 2 miles east of Romsey, in Hampshire. Gosport is well within our area for events. Gosport is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. Our bookings stretch from Gosport to Southampton (6 miles away).
If the day starts at a church like Church of St Mark, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. If guests are travelling by rail, the closest railway station is Chandlers Ford station, roughly 2.6 miles south-east of the centre.
This part of Hampshire takes in SO51, so your event can be anywhere in it. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Ampfield (1 mile north-east), Crampmoor (1 mile west), Knapp (1 mile north-east), Broadgate (1 mile east) and Lower Slackstead (2 miles north).

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us

- Serving and clearing done for you

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
What meats do you barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
