About our BBQ catering in Wherwell
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. We serve beef burgers, pulled pork and beef brisket, and typical bookings are for leaving parties and Fêtes, fairs and sports days.
In a small place like Wherwell, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it does not need a kitchen. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Planning a barbecue in Wherwell
Wherwell is about 3 miles south-east of Andover, in Hampshire. Wherwell is well within our area 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 17 miles away.
If you had Longstock Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: barbecues are often restricted in parks. Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as Wherwell Primary School, frequently want a barbecue.
Events anywhere in SP11 start with an outdoor spot for the barbecue. From High Street, Fair Piece and Beech Grove or anywhere nearby, we will bring the barbecue to you. Close by, we cover events in Wherwell Wood (1 mile north-west), Cottonworth (1 mile south-west), Chilbolton (1 mile south), Fullerton (1 mile south-west) and South Harewood (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cater in Winchester (9 miles south-east), Eastleigh (14 miles south), Andover (3 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (13 miles south), Romsey (12 miles south) and Hyde (9 miles south-east).
Nearby you will also find Andover Museum (3.3 miles north-west) and Andover War Memorial Hospital (4 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Mill Lake and Anton Lakes.
- Local pubs include White Lion Public House (less than half a mile south-west)
For event organisers in Wherwell
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. By late September, sunset in Wherwell is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
