Questions from Whiteley
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How far is Whiteley from London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Whiteley. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.

The process
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. A summer barbecue in Whiteley stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
How to prepare
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance

Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Before you choose a spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
