Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
BBQ catering in Wickham, served hot
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. Typical bookings include school fairs and summer fêtes and summer staff days, with halloumi skewers, BBQ ribs and pulled pork.
In a place like Wickham, a barbecue at home is typically the easiest option. Let us know how we reach 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.

How the day works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. By late September, sunset in Wickham is about 7:10pm; in December it’s about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

Common questions in Wickham
Is Wickham close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Wickham?
The closest is Fareham station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Wickham. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
When should we book BBQ catering?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
