Ludgershall questions
How far is Ludgershall from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
What do children usually eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
Can you do halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Ludgershall. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Organising for someone else?
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 organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
What comes off the grill
Chicken skewers
Our chef grills chicken on skewers, for guests who prefer chicken.
Beef brisket
Brisket makes a barbecue feel like a proper meal, especially at a wedding or work event.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Ludgershall
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
