Highcliffe: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Highcliffe?
The closest is Winchester station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Could you cook in St. Cross Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Use our quote form.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Do you cover Highcliffe?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Highcliffe and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
After service, our staff clear up, so there is very little left for you to do.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
