Your questions about a catered barbecue in Ringwood
Can you do a barbecue in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What meats do you barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
Do you cover Ringwood?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Ringwood and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you do halal?
We do not. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up. China is available on request.
The menu, dish by dish
Chicken skewers
Chicken gives guests who don’t eat pork or beef a meat option, cooked until it’s hot all the way through.
Sausages
Barbecued sausages are always popular, in a roll or on a plate.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer

- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
