A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
Planning a barbecue in Toothill
Toothill is about 2 miles south of Romsey, in Hampshire. Toothill is well within our area for events and the places nearby. Toothill is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we cater.
If you are organising a summer fair for a school like The Mountbatten School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser. After a christening at a church such as Church of St John, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Toothill is within about 8 miles of the New Forest National Park, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.

The process
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. In Toothill, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
