BBQ catering for your event in Hinxhill
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we’ll plan around it. We serve halloumi skewers, beef burgers and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for informal weddings and cricket, football and rugby club days.
Near Hinxhill, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
How it works
We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. Evening barbecues in Hinxhill need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

- We serve as people come up.

Hinxhill questions
Could you cook in Conningbrook Lakes Country Park?

Is Hinxhill close to London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you offer halal meat?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Hinxhill. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
