BBQ catering for Stubbles
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
About our BBQ catering in Stubbles
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Give us your serving time and we’ll work to it. For fundraising days and big birthday parties, we can cook chicken skewers, sausages and beef burgers and more.
Country barbecues near Stubbles are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Stubbles
Is Stubbles too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Plan shelter for your guests.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Before you choose a spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
