BBQ catering in Little Holbury, cooked on site
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. Whether it’s evening wedding food and back-garden get-togethers, we can cook sausages, beef burgers and halloumi skewers and more.
A barbecue in the countryside near Little Holbury makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausages
Children generally head straight for the sausages.
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, straight from the grill to the bun.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Where the barbecue can go in Little Holbury
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Little Holbury questions
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Little Holbury?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
