Common questions in West Meon
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 follow the site rules.
How far is West Meon from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to West Meon?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, West Meon and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
What do you need from the venue?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
What do children usually 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.
What affects the price in West Meon
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode

How the day works

- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
