About our BBQ catering in Langstone
There’s something about a barbecue that gets people talking: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. In Langstone, we’ll set up where it suits your event. For school fairs and summer fêtes and cricket, football and rugby club days, we can cook chicken skewers, halloumi skewers and BBQ ribs.
In a small place like Langstone, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Your questions about a catered barbecue in Langstone
Is Langstone too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
When should we book BBQ catering?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there is enough.
What do children typically eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask which items contain gluten
After service, our staff clear up, so there’s very little left for you to do.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Chicken skewers
Our chef grills chicken on skewers, a lighter choice than burgers.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
The process
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. In Langstone, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Instead of a takeaway delivery, a barbecue becomes part of the event, with the smell drawing people over. 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 will suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- A clear quote with everything listed
