BBQ catering for your event in Kitwood
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We are frequently asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and sports days and birthdays and milestone parties, with beef brisket, chicken skewers and BBQ ribs.
In a small place like Kitwood, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Planning a barbecue in Kitwood
Kitwood is about 5 miles south-west of Alton, in Hampshire. We cover events in Kitwood, along with the towns and villages around it. Kitwood is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Kitwood to Southampton (about 19 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Kitwood are Bentworth Hall (3.8 miles north) and Hall Place (4.3 miles north). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as Four Marks Church of England Primary School, often want a barbecue. Kitwood is within about 8 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
For events in SO24, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and a serving time. If your venue is just outside Kitwood, we also cover Gilbert Street (1 mile south-west), Charlwood (1 mile south-east), North Street (1 mile west), Monkwood (2 miles south) and Ropley (2 miles south-west).

Why choose BBQ catering in Kitwood?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book our barbecue in Kitwood
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Our staff serve and clear
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like

Where the barbecue can go in Kitwood
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer

How it works
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. At midsummer, it’s light in Kitwood until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
