BBQ catering for your event in Northam
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. You choose the mix that suits your event. Popular choices include beef brisket, coleslaw and chicken skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater garden parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a place like Northam, a barbecue at home is usually the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Northam barbecues: local tips
Northam is about 1 mile south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. We cover events in Northam, along with the towns and villages around it. We cover 40 places across Southampton.
After a christening at a church such as Church of St Augustine, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Nearby historic houses include Southampton Tudor House and Garden (1.3 miles south-west) and Medieval Merchant's House (1.4 miles south-west). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. Northam is within about 8 miles of the New Forest National Park, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. The sea is within about 2 miles of Northam, so breezy days are common: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
Here we cover the SO14, SO19 and SO18 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Whether your event is on Sea Road, Lumpy Lane and Cross Road or anywhere nearby, we can set up and cook there. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Peartree Green (1 mile south), Bitterne Manor (1 mile north), Itchen (1 mile south-east), St Mary's (1 mile south-west) and Bitterne (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Regents Park (3 miles west), Maybush (3 miles north-west), Coxford (3 miles north-west), Lordswood (3 miles north-west), Eling (5 miles west) and Rownhams (4 miles north-west).
Nearby you’ll also find Bitterne Local History Society Heritage And Research Centre (0.8 miles east) and Marlands Shopping Centre (1.2 miles west). The countryside around Northam includes Netley Common.
- Nearby schools include Inspire Enterprise Academy (0.8 miles south-west) and St Mary's Independent School (0.8 miles north-east)
- Local pubs include The Engineers Arms (less than half a mile west)
Northam: your questions answered
Could you cook in East Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Do you come to Northam?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
When should we book BBQ catering?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
What BBQ catering costs
Your quote depends on:
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

The process
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. Sunset in Northam is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
Ask for a quote
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
