BBQ catering for Sparsholt
BBQ catering in Sparsholt, served hot
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We serve sausages, BBQ ribs and coleslaw, and we are frequently booked for summer staff days and community fun days.
Country barbecues near Sparsholt are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
What happens on the day
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. By late September, sunset in Sparsholt is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Planning help
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Space, access and the venue
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
