BBQ catering for your event in Selborne
In Selborne, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. Typical bookings include informal weddings and leaving and retirement parties, serving beef brisket, beef burgers and pulled pork.
Country barbecues near Selborne are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Instead of a takeaway delivery, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, with the smell drawing people over. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you

What else we do in Selborne
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
We cook as your guests come up, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
A closer look at the menu
Beef burgers
No barbecue is complete without burgers, loved by most ages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or GU34 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it is a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. A summer barbecue in Selborne stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
