About our BBQ catering in Ibsley
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. Whether it is close and cul-de-sac parties and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, we can cook halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and pulled pork and more.
Country barbecues near Ibsley are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
A closer look at the menu
Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, which helps at busy times.
Chicken skewers
Chicken gives guests who do not eat pork or beef a meat option, cooked until it’s hot all the way through.
Ibsley: your questions answered
Is Ibsley too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
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.
Do you cover Ibsley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Ibsley and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with ordering takeaway, a barbecue becomes part of the event, with the smell drawing people over. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

How it works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. For an evening barbecue in Ibsley, think about light: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Include children in your numbers
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
