How our BBQ catering works in Romsey
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. You choose the mix that suits your event. We are often asked to cater school fairs and summer fêtes and summer staff days, serving beef brisket, chicken skewers and beef burgers.
Garden barbecues are a classic in Romsey, with a club, hall or pub garden as a good alternative. We need a level spot away from the house. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- A clear way in from where we park
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
