BBQ catering in Waterlooville, cooked on site
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, well clear of walls, marquee sides and trees. Tell us about the space in Waterlooville and we’ll check it works. We’re frequently asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and sports days and birthdays and milestone parties, serving chicken skewers, BBQ ribs and coleslaw.
Sports clubs and schools around Waterlooville often host summer barbecues, with the grill set up beside the field or car park. Check the club or school is happy first. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Waterlooville
What’s the nearest station to Waterlooville?
Bedhampton station, about 2.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Waterlooville close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
How much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
