Questions from Hartley Wespall
Which station is closest to Hartley Wespall?
Bramley (Hants) station, about 2.8 miles west of the centre.
Is Hartley Wespall too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Should we have every meat?
You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you offer halal meat?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
