A catered BBQ in Hillstreet: what to know
Hillstreet is about 2 miles north of Totton, in Hampshire. We are happy to travel to Hillstreet for events and the places nearby. Hillstreet is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 6 miles away.
If your garden is too small, a club or hall near Hillstreet with outdoor space frequently works. If the day starts at a church like St Anne's, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. The New Forest National Park is within about 6 miles of Hillstreet, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first. The sea is within about 6 miles of Hillstreet, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
