Planning a barbecue in St Leonards
St Leonards is in Hampshire. We cover events in St Leonards. We cover all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 21 miles away.
Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as St Ives Primary & Nursery School, frequently want a barbecue. Thinking of a barbecue in Avon Heath Country Park? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, usually the council’s. St Leonards is within about 7 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.
We cater events across the BH24 postcode area. We can cater an event on streets such as Cedar Avenue, Birch Close and Malmesbury Road, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the barbecue. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Ashley Heath (1 mile north), St Ives (1 mile north-east), Matchams (1 mile south-east) and Avon Castle (2 miles east). We also serve nearby towns such as Lymington (14 miles east), New Milton (10 miles south-east), Ringwood (3 miles north-east), Barton on Sea (10 miles south-east), Ashley (10 miles south-east) and Milford on Sea (13 miles south-east).
A little further out are St Leonard's Hospital (0.9 miles south-west) and Stapehill Abbey (3.9 miles south-west). Open spaces near St Leonards include Linbrook Lake and Blashford Lakes.
Common questions in St Leonards
Can you do a barbecue in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in St Leonards. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Is the food cooked safely?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Can you do halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
What the cooking area needs
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- A spot well clear of buildings

Evening barbecues in St Leonards need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
