BBQ catering in Southbourne, served hot
For bigger events in Southbourne, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. We can quote for either or both. On the menu are beef brisket, pulled pork and chicken skewers, and typical bookings are for work barbecues and informal weddings.
In a place like Southbourne, a barbecue at home is usually the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will do the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Southbourne: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How far is Southbourne from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
What the cooking area needs
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice

- Ask about allergies when guests reply
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with ordering takeaway, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, with the smell drawing people over. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
