Event catering in Fleet, served hot
Good event catering in Fleet comes down to three things: hot food, good timing and a tidy finish. We deliver all three, cooked on site. We are often asked to cater residents’ days and community fun days, with beef brisket, beef burgers and halloumi skewers.
In a town like Fleet, we cater everything from garden parties to staff days and club events: hog roast or BBQ, depending on the occasion. All we need is a level spot outdoors to cook. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from walls, tents and overhanging branches
- Access wide enough for our equipment
- Room for a serving table and a queue

Caterers in Fleet: venues and local tips
Fleet is about 13 miles south-east of Reading, in Hampshire. We cover events in Fleet. We cover all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 12 miles away.
If you are organising a fair for a school like Heatherside Junior School, a hog roast or barbecue stall is popular. Parks such as Oakley Park normally need council permission for caterers, so check first.
For events in GU51, GU52 and GU10, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Streets in the area include Church Road, Durnsford Avenue and Hankins Court, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. With the A323 and A3013 close by, Fleet is simple for us to get to with the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to events in Farnborough (3 miles north-east), Aldershot (4 miles south-east), Yateley (4 miles north), Farnham (5 miles south-east) and Frimley (5 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Basingstoke (11 miles west), Alton (10 miles south-west) and Tadley (14 miles north-west). As one of the bigger places in Hampshire, Fleet has plenty of venues, halls and workplaces.
A little further out are Royal Army Dental Corps Historical Museum (3.9 miles east) and Fleet Community Hospital (1 mile north-west). Within reach you will find Fleet Pond Nature Reserve and Hitches Hill.
- Schools near Fleet include Court Moor School (within half a mile south-west)
- Nearby, you will find The Prince of Wales pub (less than half a mile south-west)
What happens on the day
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the event carries on around us. Evening events in Fleet need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, and send a quote.
- We confirm the cooking spot with you or the venue.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Name a contact for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Planning help
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Common questions in Fleet
Could you cook in Oakley Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is Fleet close to London?
About 36 miles from central London.
What about vegetarian guests?
We do. There is always a vegetarian and a vegan choice, cooked separately from the meat.
How soon do dates go?
As soon as your date is fixed. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you cater large events?
Large events suit a hog roast especially well. Tell us about the event and we’ll quote.
Do you cater indoors?
We cook outdoors under cover, but we can often serve inside if the venue agrees. Check with your venue.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates; china is extra and on request.
Do you only do hog roasts?
Not at all: there’s a full barbecue menu as well, with vegetarian and vegan options on each.

How we price your catering
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
