BBQ catering for Linwood
BBQ catering in Linwood, 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 serve chicken skewers, sausages and BBQ ribs, and typical bookings are for garden parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
Country barbecues near Linwood are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What BBQ catering costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
A barbecue or other catering?

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Linwood
Is Linwood too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you do halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
What does the venue need to provide?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
What do children typically eat?
Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
When should we book BBQ catering?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Use our quote form.
What happens on the day
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. A summer barbecue in Linwood stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:10pm.
