About our BBQ catering in Upper Hale
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we’ll work to it. On the menu are sausages, pulled pork and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for garden parties and team days and staff summer parties.
For a barbecue in Upper Hale, the garden is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
The process
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. For an evening barbecue in Upper Hale, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Let us know about children’s numbers

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Sausages
Children usually head straight for the sausages, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- No surprises: everything in writing

Other occasions in Upper Hale
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Common questions in Upper Hale
Which station is closest to Upper Hale?
The closest is Farnham station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Can you do a barbecue in Weybourne LNR?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
What do children typically eat?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
What do you need from the venue?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
