BBQ catering for Monkwood
BBQ catering in Monkwood, served hot
Some hosts in Monkwood pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we will quote for both. Popular choices include BBQ ribs, beef burgers and sausages, and we are regularly asked to cater big birthday parties and relaxed weddings and evening receptions.
Near Monkwood, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a row of street-food vans, one catered barbecue keeps everyone eating together, with a menu planned around your guests. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book our barbecue in Monkwood
- A choice of salads and potatoes

- Hot food straight off the grill

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Chicken skewers
Chicken gives guests who do not eat pork or beef a meat option.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.

What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Anything the venue has asked for

We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SO24 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
The process
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves for as long as we have agreed. For an evening barbecue in Monkwood, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Before we arrive

Questions from Monkwood
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Use our quote form.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Before you choose a spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
