Near West Heath, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.

West Heath questions
What’s the nearest station to West Heath?
Bramley (Hants) station, about 4 miles east of the centre.
Is West Heath 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.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Can you cater in West Heath?

Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
How much choice do we need?
Not typically. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we will advise on the rest.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
