FAQs for Maybush
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Could you cook in St James' Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service. Ask if you’d like china.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
What do you need from the venue?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
What meats do you barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How many meats should we choose?
Not typically. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
BBQ catering in Maybush, served hot
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Tell us about the space in Maybush and we will check it works. We serve coleslaw, pulled pork and sausages, and we’re often booked for Fêtes, fairs and sports days and big birthday parties.
Around Maybush, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A catered barbecue fits right in, and you will not spend it cooking. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Maybush barbecues: local tips
Maybush is about 3 miles east of Totton, in Southampton. We cover Maybush and its neighbours for events. Maybush is one of 40 towns and villages in Southampton where we cater.
For guests coming by train, Redbridge station is about 1.2 miles away. A green space like St James' Park is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. The New Forest National Park is within about 7 miles of Maybush. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first. With the coast within about 4 miles of Maybush, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
For events in SO16 and SO15, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include Link Road, Palm Road and Vine Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Coxford (1 mile north-east), Hillyfields (1 mile north-west), Regents Park (1 mile south-east), Shirley (1 mile south-east) and Millbrook (1 mile south). We also serve nearby towns such as Southampton (3 miles east), Townhill Park (4 miles east), Midanbury (4 miles east), Thornhill (5 miles east), Chartwell Green (4 miles east) and Harefield (5 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Eling Experience (1.8 miles south-west) and Western Community Hospital (under half a mile south). Open spaces near Maybush include Testwood Lakes.
- Nearby schools include Millbrook Community School (less than half a mile north-west) and Regents Park Community College (0.7 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find Bridge Tavern (within half a mile north-east)
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We cook as your guests come up, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
BBQ ribs
BBQ ribs bring a sticky, glazed favourite to the table; have napkins ready.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a fixed venue menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Six meats to choose from
- Serving and clearing done for you
