Event catering near Gosport
Good event catering in Gosport comes down to three things: food people enjoy, served on time, with no mess left behind. We deliver all three, cooked on site. Popular choices include beef burgers, spit-roast lamb and beef brisket, and typical bookings are for location shoots and residents’ days.
Gosport 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. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

What affects the price in Gosport
Your quote depends on:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- The date and time of year
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work for our catering with a little planning. Check these:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and trees
- Access wide enough for our equipment

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
If timings change on the day, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll work around it.
For a long event, a hog roast at lunch and a barbecue later can work.
Questions from Gosport
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to Gosport?
Portsmouth Harbour station, about 2 miles east of the centre.
Is the meat halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Do you cater indoors?
We always cook outside, though guests can eat inside.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you cater somewhere with no kitchen?
No kitchen needed: we just need a level, open spot outside.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are standard. Ask about china for a sit-down meal.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Hog roast, BBQ or something else?
Compared with a traditional caterer, our food is hearty and informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Our staff serve and clear
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Hog roast and BBQ menus
How the day works
We take our agreed spot and keep the rest of the space free, and the event carries on around us. In Gosport, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so most summer events eat in daylight. By late December, sunset is about 4:00pm.
- It starts with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a menu suggestion and a quote.
- On the day, we set up outdoors under cover.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
