BBQ catering in Petersfield, cooked on site
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. Whether it’s school fairs and summer fêtes and work barbecues, we will put together a menu of beef burgers, halloumi skewers and coleslaw for your guests.
Birthdays, staff days and club events in Petersfield all suit a catered barbecue. Wherever it is, there needs to be an outdoor spot to cook, with cover overhead. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
What BBQ catering costs
The biggest factors are:
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send 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:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- Parking near the grill
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why book our barbecue in Petersfield

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
