BBQ catering for your event in New Milton
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a photo of the space and we will confirm it. Whether it’s school fairs and summer fêtes and evening wedding food, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, chicken skewers and sausages.
In a place like New Milton, a barbecue at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will work around it where possible.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
