BBQ catering for Lodsworth
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Parking near the grill
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How our BBQ catering works in Lodsworth
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. On the menu are sausages, beef brisket and BBQ ribs, and we’re frequently booked for cricket, football and rugby club days and team days and staff summer parties.
In a small place like Lodsworth, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

The process
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Sunset in Lodsworth is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or GU28 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, which keeps the queue moving.
BBQ ribs
For guests who love barbecue, the ribs are often the highlight.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book with us
