A barbecue near Passfield
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
BBQ catering in Passfield, served hot
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We are often asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and fundraising days, serving beef brisket, sausages and coleslaw.
In a small place like Passfield, 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 handle the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Passfield questions
Do you come out to small places like Passfield?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Passfield?
The closest is Liphook station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a DIY barbecue, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the cooking is in experienced hands. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard

The process
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. In Passfield, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
