BBQ catering in Laverstoke, cooked on site
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We’re frequently asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and sports clubs and team events, serving coleslaw, beef burgers and chicken skewers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Laverstoke makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Laverstoke
How far is Laverstoke from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Laverstoke?
Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 1.7 miles west of the centre.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
What does the venue need to provide?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
What do children typically eat?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

What happens on the day
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. By late September, sunset in Laverstoke is about 7:10pm; in December it’s about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day

- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance

It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Planning help
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
