BBQ catering for Havant
The menu, dish by dish
BBQ ribs
For guests who love barbecue, the ribs are often the highlight.
Sausages
Sausages go down well with younger guests, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
BBQ catering for your event in Havant
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a picture of the space and we will confirm it. Whether it’s big birthday parties and retirement do’s, we can cook sausages, coleslaw and pulled pork for your guests.
Sports clubs and schools around Havant frequently host summer barbecues, with the grill set up beside the field or car park. Get the go-ahead from the site first. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
The process
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. Autumn and winter barbecues in Havant get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

What else we do in Havant
Havant: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Havant?
Havant station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Havant?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Do you cover Havant?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Can you do halal?
We do not. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Served at the time you choose
- A clear quote with everything listed
- A full barbecue menu

For event organisers in Havant

How we price a catered barbecue
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
