North Hayling barbecues: local tips
North Hayling is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. Events in North Hayling are part of our patch. We bring barbecues to all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 20 miles away.
Thinking of a barbecue in Eames Farm? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, normally the council’s. Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as The Hayling College, often want a barbecue. The sea is within about 4 miles of North Hayling, so breezy days are common: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
This part of Hampshire takes in PO11, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. Whether your event is on Church Lane, St Peter's Road and St Peter's Avenue or anywhere nearby, we will bring the barbecue to you. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Northney (1 mile north), Tye (1 mile south), Stoke (1 mile west), Warblington (1 mile north) and Langstone (1 mile north-west).

How our BBQ catering works in North Hayling
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we will work to it. On the menu are coleslaw, sausages and beef burgers, and we are regularly asked to cater informal weddings and engagement and anniversary parties.
A barbecue in the countryside near North Hayling makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a fixed venue menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Organising for someone else?

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Parking near the grill
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
