BBQ catering for your event in Langley
There’s something about a barbecue that gets people talking: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. In Langley, we will set up where it suits your event. For work barbecues and reunions and family get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of beef brisket, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
A barbecue in the countryside near Langley makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Hot food straight off the grill
- An itemised quote
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- A full barbecue menu

FAQs for Langley
Do you come out to small places like Langley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Langley?
The closest is Hamble station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Do you cover Langley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Langley and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
The process
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you. For an evening barbecue in Langley, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
