BBQ catering in Owslebury, cooked on site
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can enjoy your own event. Whether it is Fêtes, fairs and sports days and informal weddings, we can cook beef burgers, halloumi skewers and beef brisket and more.
In a small place like Owslebury, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Owslebury: your questions answered
How far is Owslebury from London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Owslebury?
The closest is Shawford station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Can you do halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
Can you cater in Owslebury?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Owslebury and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
Running late? Let us know, and we will work around it where possible.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. In Owslebury, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
How to get a price
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
