Woodmancote barbecues: local tips
Woodmancote is about 4 miles east of Havant, in West Sussex. Woodmancote and the surrounding area are covered for events. Woodmancote is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cater. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 22 miles away.
Parks such as Stansted Park often have rules on barbecues, so check with the council or landowner first. Nearby historic houses include Warblington Castle (2.9 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early. The South Downs National Park is within about 8 miles of Woodmancote, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
For events in PO10, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and roughly how many guests. Whether your event is on South Lane, Duffield Lane and Woodmancote Lane or anywhere nearby, we will bring the barbecue to you. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Westbourne (1 mile west), Southbourne (1 mile south), Lumley (1 mile south-west), Emsworth (2 miles south-west) and Denvilles (3 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Bognor Regis (11 miles south-east), Chichester (6 miles east), Selsey (10 miles south-east), Portfield (6 miles east), Yapton (13 miles east) and East Wittering (7 miles south).
A little further out are Havant War Memorial Hospital (3.7 miles west) and Warblington Castle (2.9 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Stoke Down and Brook Meadow (Emsworth).
- Schools near Woodmancote include Westbourne Primary School (0.9 miles west)
- Nearby, you will find The Stag's Head Public House (0.9 miles west)
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What BBQ catering costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Travel to Woodmancote
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
