A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Hot food straight off the grill

About our BBQ catering in Millbrook
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will work to it. For 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and street parties, we’ll put together a menu of beef burgers, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers and more.
Barbecues around Millbrook are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A catered barbecue fits right in, and you will not spend it cooking. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

A catered BBQ in Millbrook: what to know
Millbrook is about 2 miles west of Southampton, in Southampton. Events in Millbrook are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Millbrook is one of 40 places in Southampton we cover.
Thinking of a barbecue in St James' Park? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, generally the council’s. Historic houses near Millbrook include Southampton Tudor House and Garden (2.2 miles south-east) and Medieval Merchant's House (2.3 miles south-east). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. Millbrook is within about 7 miles of the New Forest National Park, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. The sea is within about 3 miles of Millbrook, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
We cover events in every part of SO15 and SO16. Local streets include Mill Road, Mendip Road and Severn Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. If your venue is just outside Millbrook, we also cover Regents Park (1 mile north-east), Shirley (1 mile north-east), Freemantle (1 mile east), Maybush (1 mile north) and Redbridge (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include Townhill Park (4 miles east), Midanbury (4 miles east), Thornhill (5 miles east), Chartwell Green (4 miles east), Harefield (5 miles east) and Itchen (4 miles east).

Common questions in Millbrook
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Millbrook?
The closest is Millbrook (Hants) station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Do you come to Millbrook?
Yes, Millbrook is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
