Event catering for Aldershot
About our event catering in Aldershot
Unlike kitchen-based caterers, we cook outdoors at your venue. In Aldershot, that opens up gardens, fields, car parks and marquees. Whether it’s weddings and birthdays and garden parties, we can cook halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken.
Aldershot has halls, clubs, pubs and function venues, as well as plenty of gardens. If yours has outdoor space, we can cater there, and we will check the venue is happy with an outside caterer. We cater the food, cooked on site, from a carved hog roast to a full barbecue.
The menu, dish by dish
BBQ ribs
Ribs are a favourite with keen barbecue fans.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.

Hog roast, BBQ or something else?
Hog roast or barbecue? A hog roast feeds a crowd at once and makes a centrepiece; a barbecue gives more choice. Many events have both. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book us in Aldershot
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Served at the time you choose
- Our staff serve and clear

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Find out who avoids pork for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Running late? Let us know, and we’ll work around it.
