How our BBQ catering works in Lymington
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will work to it. For 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and informal weddings, we can cook chicken skewers, coleslaw and halloumi skewers and more.
A summer barbecue at a club or school in Lymington is a popular fundraiser, and the grill can go on the edge of the field or in the car park. Get the go-ahead from the site first. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it does not need a kitchen. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- An itemised quote
