BBQ catering for your event in Newnham
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. Popular choices include chicken skewers, BBQ ribs and sausages, and we’re regularly asked to cater big birthday parties and reunions and family get-togethers.
In a small place like Newnham, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
A catered BBQ in Newnham: what to know
Newnham is about 5 miles east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Events in Newnham are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Newnham is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. Our bookings stretch from Newnham to Reading (12 miles away).
If the day starts at a church like Church of St. Nicholas, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. For anyone arriving by rail, the closest railway station is Hook station, roughly 1.2 miles east of the centre.
We cater events across the RG27 postcode area and the streets around it. From Tylney Lane, Newnham Lane and Ridge Lane or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the barbecue to you. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Nately Scures (1 mile south), Hook Common (1 mile south-east), Up Nately (1 mile south), Hook (1 mile east) and Warnborough Green (2 miles south-east).

Newnham: your questions answered
Is Newnham too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Newnham close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
How much choice do we need?
Not generally. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we will advise on the rest.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area. Ask if you’d like china.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
Running late? Let us know, and we will work around it where possible.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a fixed venue menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why book with us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- A clear quote with everything listed

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
How the day works
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’ve agreed. In Newnham, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Include children in your numbers
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Sausages
Children usually head straight for the sausages, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, so they keep the queue moving alongside the slow-cooked meats.
