BBQ catering in West Lavington, served hot
For bigger events in West Lavington, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. For Fêtes, fairs and sports days and retirement do’s, we’ll put together a menu of pulled pork, beef brisket and sausages.
A barbecue in the countryside near West Lavington makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Site access
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat

West Lavington: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like West Lavington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the South Downs 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.
What do children typically eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.

Compared with ordering takeaway, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, and the grill becomes a gathering point. 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.
