What BBQ catering costs
The price comes down to:
- Numbers

- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Any venue rules

BBQ catering in Stonehills, cooked on site
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, well clear of walls, marquee sides and trees. Send us a picture of the space and we’ll confirm it. For neighbourhood parties and family celebrations, we can cook halloumi skewers, pulled pork and coleslaw for your guests.
In a small place like Stonehills, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Questions from Stonehills
Is Stonehills too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
How much choice do we need?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area. Ask if you’d like china.

Stonehills is within about 5 miles of the New Forest National Park. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
