BBQ catering in Tadley, served hot
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. For evening wedding food and Fêtes, fairs and sports days, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, pulled pork and beef brisket.
Birthdays, staff days and club events in Tadley all suit a catered barbecue. The common need is a spot outside for the grill. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
What comes off the grill
Sausages
Cooked through and browned on the grill, sausages are simple and satisfying.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is slow-cooked until it falls apart, piled into rolls.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from Tadley
How far is Tadley from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Tadley?
Midgham station, about 3.3 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?

Can you cater in Tadley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Tadley and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
The process
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. In Tadley, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
