We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.

We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
The process
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. Sunset in Sholing is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue

Sholing is about 2 miles south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. We cater events of every size in Sholing. Sholing is one of 40 places in Southampton we cover.

If the day starts at a church like Church of St Mary, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. Sholing is within about 8 miles of the New Forest National Park, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. The sea is within about 2 miles of Sholing, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.

Your event could be at a house on Bay Road, Ashby Road and Loane Road, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.
