A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

FAQs for Horseport
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What does the venue need to provide?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We’ll check anything else with you.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.

How the day works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. Autumn and winter barbecues in Horseport get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:05pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
