How our BBQ catering works in Tidworth
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. Typical bookings include evening wedding food and family celebrations, serving coleslaw, pulled pork and beef burgers.
Barbecues around Tidworth are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A catered barbecue fits right in, and you won’t spend it cooking. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you cover Tidworth?

Do we have to eat from rolls?

The process
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Autumn and winter barbecues in Tidworth get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.

What the cooking area needs
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
