Questions from West Liss
Is West Liss close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
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.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.

How the day works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. Evening barbecues in West Liss need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
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.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or GU33 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, 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, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
