Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food

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.
BBQ catering in The Haven, cooked on site
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. Our chef grills on site in The Haven, under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. Typical bookings include summer staff days and leaving and retirement parties, serving BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and sausages.
In a small place like The Haven, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

How it works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. Autumn and winter barbecues in The Haven get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
