Event catering in Hampshire: what to expect
We always include meat-free choices: halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Lamb, chicken and beef options help when some guests do not eat pork. We are often asked to cater wakes and community fun days, with rotisserie chicken, beef burgers and beef brisket.
A hog roast is cooked before serving and carved to order; a barbecue is cooked as people come up. Either way, our staff serve and clear.
- First, you send us the occasion, date, venue and numbers.
- We recommend a menu and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up on the agreed spot.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
What it costs in Hampshire

Caterers across Hampshire: what to know
Events across Hampshire come in all shapes, from weddings in Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport to fêtes and staff days. Our answer is hot food cooked on site: a hog roast, a barbecue or both. 9 of the places we cover in Hampshire are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Basingstoke: Nearby historic houses include The Vyne (2.9 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check whether it uses approved caterers and allows cooking on site. Parks such as Eastrop Park usually need council permission for caterers, so check first. Sunset in Basingstoke is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, which gives summer events long evenings.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work for our catering with a little planning. Check these:
- A clear way in from where we park
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Choosing caterers in Hampshire
Next to catering it yourself, nobody you know spends the event cooking, and the food is in professional hands.
