Upper Kingston questions
Is Upper Kingston too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Step by step

Beef brisket
Beef brisket is slow-cooked and sliced, for a more substantial plate.
What affects the price in Upper Kingston
Each price is built from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Tell us about children’s numbers
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
