BBQ catering in Tye
BBQ catering for your event in Tye
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Tye, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We serve chicken skewers, sausages and beef burgers, and typical bookings are for sports clubs and team events and summer parties in the garden.
In a small place like Tye, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book with us
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Served at the time you choose
- An itemised quote

Barbecue venues around Tye
Tye is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. Events in Tye are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Tye is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. Our bookings stretch from Tye to Southampton (20 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Tye are Warblington Castle (2 miles north). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. After a christening at a church such as Church of St Peter, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. The sea is within about 3 miles of Tye, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
For events in PO11, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and a serving time. Streets in the area include Gutner Lane and Copse Lane, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue.

The process
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. Evening barbecues in Tye need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
We cook as your guests come up, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
Common questions in Tye
How far is Tye from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Tye too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
When should we book BBQ catering?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Use our quote form.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Is the meat halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
What do children normally eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
