Planning a barbecue in Newtown
Newtown is about 5 miles north-west of Waterlooville, in Hampshire. We’re happy to travel to Newtown for events. Newtown is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Newtown to Southampton (about 11 miles away).
If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Portchester station, about 4.4 miles south. Churches such as Church of the Holy Trinity rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby typically does.
For events in PO17, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook. Local streets include Church Road, Hundred Acres Road and Ingoldfield Lane; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Close by, we cover events in Southend (1 mile north-east), Soberton Heath (1 mile north), Hoe Gate (1 mile east), Hipley (1 mile south-east) and Woodend (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in Winchester (13 miles north-west), Gosport (8 miles south), Havant (7 miles south-east), Eastleigh (10 miles west), Fareham (5 miles south-west) and Horndean (5 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find Knowle Hospital (3.8 miles south-west). Open spaces near Newtown include St Clair's Meadow and Portsdown Hill.
- Local pubs include The Bold Forester Public House (1 mile north-west)
BBQ catering in Newtown, cooked on site
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Tell us your rough numbers and we’ll plan the menu and service. We are frequently asked to cater evening wedding food and street parties, with BBQ ribs, sausages and chicken skewers.
In a small place like Newtown, 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 will plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

How it works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. For an evening barbecue in Newtown, 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.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Send final numbers in good time
- Think about where the smoke will drift

What else we do in Newtown
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.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Request gluten-free rolls
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a row of street-food vans, a single barbecue feeds your group together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why book our barbecue in Newtown

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, which keeps the queue moving.
Newtown questions
Is Newtown close to London?
About 60 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Newtown?
Portchester station, about 4.4 miles south of the centre.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Newtown. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
How many meats should we choose?
You do not need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we’ll advise on the rest.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What BBQ catering costs
Your quote depends on:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- A spot well clear of buildings
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
