About our BBQ catering in Wootton
In Wootton, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We serve sausages, beef brisket and coleslaw, and we’re often booked for summer parties in the garden and close and cul-de-sac parties.
In a small place like Wootton, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What happens on the day
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Wootton
What’s the nearest station to Wootton?
The closest is New Milton station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Wootton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Should we have every meat?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
What comes off the grill
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, hot off the barbecue.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.

For guests coming by train, New Milton station, about 2.2 miles south, is the nearest station.

If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early.

Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.
