Event catering near Farnborough
If you’re searching for caterers in Farnborough, you probably want someone who turns up, cooks well and clears away. That’s what we do, with a hog roast or a barbecue. For festive parties and weddings, we’ll put together a menu of beef brisket, rotisserie chicken and beef burgers for your guests.
Venues in Farnborough range from village-style halls and clubs to hotels and function rooms. Wherever there is room outside to cook, we can work. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
With a hog roast we start early; with a barbecue we cook as people eat. We plan our timings from when you want to eat.
A hog roast can come with lamb or chicken alongside.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.

Beef brisket is slow-cooked and sliced, rich and tender.

Events anywhere in GU14, GU11 and GU17 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Wallis Square, Church Road West and Longleat Square; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Farnborough sits on or near the A325 and A327, so getting the roaster to your event is simple.

Step by step
We cook outdoors under cover, so a shower will not stop the food, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. Around midsummer it stays light in Farnborough until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and the kind of event.
- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef cooks and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Name a contact for the day
