BBQ catering in Martyr Worthy, served hot
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. We serve sausages, chicken skewers and coleslaw, and we’re often booked for back-garden get-togethers and birthdays and milestone parties.
In a small place like Martyr Worthy, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Common questions in Martyr Worthy
What’s the nearest station to Martyr Worthy?
The closest is Winchester station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Is Martyr Worthy too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there is enough.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Do you need anything from us?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
What BBQ catering costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

- The date and when you’d like to eat

A catered barbecue compared with other options

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. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. At midsummer, it is light in Martyr Worthy until about 9:25pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:10pm.
