BBQ catering for your event in West Town
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. For birthdays and milestone parties and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, we’ll put together a menu of pulled pork, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers and more.
For a barbecue in West Town, the garden is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
West Town barbecues: local tips
West Town is about 1 mile west of South Hayling, in Hampshire. We cover West Town and its neighbours for events. We bring barbecues to all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 20 miles away.
Churches such as St Mary's Church rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby typically does. Nearby historic houses include Warblington Castle (3.9 miles north). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. With the coast within about a mile of West Town, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
Anywhere in PO11, we can bring the barbecue to you. Your event could be at a house on West Lane, Beach Road and Bacon Lane, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. We also bring barbecues to events in South Hayling (1 mile east), Tourner Bury (1 mile east), Stoke (2 miles north), Tye (2 miles north-east) and North Hayling (3 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Gosport (7 miles west), Havant (5 miles north), Fareham (10 miles north-west), Horndean (8 miles north), Waterlooville (7 miles north) and Petersfield (15 miles north).
Nearby you will also find Eastney Beam Engine House (2.5 miles west) and The Bridge Shopping Centre (4 miles west). The countryside around West Town includes The Kench.

How the day works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. After service, we clear up and pack away. For an evening barbecue in West Town, think about light: 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.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with food vans, one catered barbecue keeps everyone eating together, with a menu planned around your guests. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Our staff serve and clear
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Served at the time you choose
Take a look at our pricing or menu ideas for your barbecue.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
