BBQ catering in Hound, served hot
Barbecue food is sociable food: the smell, the queue and the plates piled high. In Hound, we’ll set up where it suits your event. Typical bookings include cricket, football and rugby club days and neighbourhood parties, serving chicken skewers, coleslaw and pulled pork.
Near Hound, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

The New Forest National Park is within about 7 miles of Hound, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What BBQ catering costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Hound
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Common questions in Hound
Which station is closest to Hound?
Hound has its own station: Netley station.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Hound?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Can you do halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.

Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service. China is available on request.
How the day works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. By late September, sunset in Hound is about 7:10pm; in December it’s about 4:00pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
