How our BBQ catering works in Winchester
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll work to it. Whether it’s birthdays and milestone parties and sports clubs and team events, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, beef brisket and beef burgers and more.
There’s no shortage of places for a barbecue in Winchester, from courtyards and car parks to gardens and showgrounds. Wherever it is, the grill needs level ground, cover and clearance. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

Where the barbecue can go in Winchester
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:

How it works
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you. In Winchester, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening barbecue is generally in daylight.

- We serve as your guests come up.

For event organisers in Winchester
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a fixed venue menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
