BBQ catering for Southampton

For planners, venues and organisers

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

BBQ catering in Southampton, served hot

We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a picture of the space and we’ll confirm it. Popular choices include coleslaw, pulled pork and beef burgers, and we’re often booked for neighbourhood parties and fundraising barbecues.

In a busy place like Southampton, a barbecue at work, at the club or in the garden is easy to arrange, as long as there’s an outdoor spot for the grill. Tell us about parking if you’re near the centre. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Common questions in Southampton

Can you barbecue near the sea around Southampton?

Yes. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.

Could you cook in Rockstone Place Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Is crockery included?

Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

Is BBQ catering only for summer?

We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.

When should we book BBQ catering?

The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Send us your details through our quote form.

How much choice do we need?

Not usually. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we will advise on the rest.

What do children normally eat?

Typically, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.

What meats do you barbecue?

Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Where the barbecue can go in Southampton

Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:

A green light from whoever owns the site
Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

How to plan a catered barbecue

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Give us numbers for the meat-free options
Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats

All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.

Barbecues in Southampton: gardens, clubs and local tips

Southampton is in England. Planning a catered barbecue in Southampton? We cover the whole area. We cater 40 places across Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.

Among the historic houses close to Southampton are Southampton Tudor House and Garden (1.4 miles south) and Medieval Merchant's House (1.5 miles south). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. Parks such as Rockstone Place Park often have rules on barbecues, so check with the council or landowner first. Southampton is within about 8 miles of the New Forest National Park, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first. With the coast within about 2 miles of Southampton, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.

We cover events in every part of the SO19, SO16, SO15 and SO18 postcode area and the streets around it. From London Road, Marshall Square and Grosvenor Square or a nearby road, we can set up and cook there. Being close to the A27 and A33, Southampton is simple for us to get to with the barbecue. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Inner Avenue (1 mile west), St Denys (1 mile north-east), Bitterne Manor (1 mile east), Portswood (1 mile north) and Northam (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in Maybush (3 miles west), Eling (4 miles west), Rownhams (3 miles north-west), Hounsdown (5 miles west), Nursling (4 miles north-west) and Hillyfields (3 miles west).

Nearby you will also find Marlands Shopping Centre (1 mile south-west) and R J Mitchell Museum (0.9 miles south-west). Within reach you’ll find Netley Common.

Local schools include St Anne's Catholic School (0.6 miles south-west) and St Mary's Independent School (1.1 miles east)
Nearby, you’ll find The Hobbit pub (within half a mile west)

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to:

Site access

Whether you want china
Travel to Southampton

Rough numbers
The venue or postcode
Any dietary needs or allergies

A barbecue or other catering?

Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

The process

One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. By late September, sunset in Southampton is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
