Hampshire wedding catering done properly

Hampshire has no shortage of wedding caterers. The difference with PremierPlus is simple: one purpose-built Airstream-style catering van, a tight menu of proper gourmet street food cooked fresh to order, and a team focused on service on the day. No hotel banqueting, no dry plated service, no buffet queues that leave the back of the room waiting.

Our base in Newbury sits right on the Hampshire border, with fast access down the A34 to Winchester and across the A303 to Andover and the west of the county. Hampshire weddings from Basingstoke in the north to Lymington in the New Forest are all a comfortable drive. The catering van is fully self-contained with its own power and water, stabilising jacks for uneven ground and a generator option for remote rural sites.

Whether you are planning a barn ceremony outside Winchester, a marquee wedding in private grounds near Alton, an estate venue near Basingstoke or an outdoor New Forest reception, we build the catering around your day.

Food styles for Hampshire weddings

Every Hampshire wedding is different, so every menu is built from scratch. The building blocks below can be mixed and matched across the wedding breakfast, evening food or both.

Gourmet burger bar

Hand-pressed 6oz beef patties, toasted brioche buns, aged cheddar, crispy bacon and a selection of house sauces. The most requested option for Hampshire wedding catering.

Loaded hot dogs

Smoked German-style franks in a soft pretzel bun with caramelised onions, crispy shallots and mustards. Popular as relaxed evening food after a formal wedding breakfast.

Southern fried chicken

Buttermilk-brined chicken thighs in soft baps with pickles, slaw and hot sauce. A firm favourite at summer marquee weddings across Hampshire and the New Forest.

Halloumi and veg pittas

Grilled halloumi or spiced vegetables, warm pitta, hummus, salad and chilli sauce. Covers vegetarian guests and adapts cleanly for vegan.

Loaded sides and nachos

Triple-cooked chips, sweet potato fries, smashed avocado nachos, slaw and dressed salads. Served as shared bowls or individual portions.

Late-night evening food

Burgers, cheesy fries and loaded hot dogs served from 9pm to keep guests dancing. A popular second service after a formal sit-down wedding breakfast.

How wedding catering pricing works in Hampshire

Wedding catering is not something we can sensibly put a sticker price on. The same menu for 60 guests at a Hampshire barn near our base is a different job to 150 guests at a remote venue in the New Forest. We price every wedding individually and send a clear written quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

Pricing is calculated on a per-head basis. The price covers the food, the van, all cooking equipment, fuel, compostable serviceware, our serving team and the set-up and cleardown. There are no hidden service charges, VAT is shown clearly on the quote and travel within Hampshire is typically included from our Newbury base.

The main factors that move the price are guest numbers, menu choice (a two-course wedding breakfast costs more than evening food only), service style and venue location. Staff levels scale with guest numbers, so larger weddings cost more per head than you might expect because we put more cooks on the service.

For a ballpark figure for your Hampshire wedding, give us a quick call on 01635 745095 or send your date, venue and rough guest numbers through the contact form. We come back with a tailored quote within one working day.

How booking works

From first enquiry to wedding day, we keep the process simple. Most Hampshire couples confirm their booking within two to three weeks of their first enquiry.

1

Enquiry

Tell us your wedding date, Hampshire venue and rough guest numbers using the contact form or call 01635 745095. We reply within one working day.

2

Menu and quote

We talk through your menu choices, dietary requirements and timings, then send a written quote with everything included - no hidden extras.

3

Deposit and booking

A 25% deposit secures the date. We send a booking confirmation, contract and public liability insurance certificate for your venue if they need it.

Wedding day

The van arrives 45 minutes before service. We cook fresh, serve your guests, pack down and leave the site spotless. You focus on the day.

Hampshire areas and wedding venues we cover

We regularly cater weddings across Hampshire, from Basingstoke in the north down to the coast and the New Forest in the south. If your Hampshire venue is elsewhere in the county or just over the border, get in touch - we travel widely and happily quote beyond this list.

Catering a wedding just over the county line? We also cover wedding catering across Surrey, wedding food van hire across the south of England, and street food catering for corporate and private events.

Wedding catering in Hampshire - frequently asked

We price each Hampshire wedding individually based on guest numbers, menu choice, service style and travel. Most wedding food van packages come in at a per-head rate comparable to a traditional caterer but with much more food and no separate service staff charges. Call 01635 745095 or use the contact form for a tailored quote.

Summer Saturdays at popular Hampshire venues - especially in the New Forest and near Winchester - book up six to twelve months ahead. If your date is firm, get in touch early. We can often accommodate shorter lead times for weekdays, winter dates and off-peak months.

In most cases yes. Our catering van is fully self-contained with its own power and water, stabilising jacks for uneven ground and a generator option. We cover barns, marquees, country estates, private Hampshire homes and registered outdoor venues. Tell us your venue and we will confirm quickly.

Yes. We regularly cater New Forest weddings. Most New Forest venues have good access for the catering van and the generator option covers rural sites without mains power. We know the access limitations for some of the more remote Forest venues and will flag anything upfront.

We cater Hampshire weddings from around 60 guests upwards. Below that it is worth a quick chat - smaller weddings can still work depending on the menu and your timings.

Up to 150 guests from the single van, at around 80 covers per hour. That comfortably covers the full wedding breakfast or evening food at most Hampshire weddings. For larger numbers we can discuss additional service points.

Yes. Every menu has vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options as standard and we cater major allergens properly. Our team is allergen trained and we handle dietary requirements at the quote stage, not on the day.

Yes. We hold full public liability insurance and our food hygiene rating is available on request. Insurance certificates are sent directly to your Hampshire venue ahead of the wedding if they ask for them.

Travel across Hampshire is usually included in the per-head price from our Newbury base - Newbury sits right on the Hampshire border. For venues at the far south coast or deep in the New Forest we may add a small travel supplement, agreed upfront in the quote.

We run scheduled tasting sessions through the year where booked couples can try the menu before finalising their choices. Dates and options are shared once your deposit is paid.

We confirm final numbers four weeks before your wedding. Small increases are usually fine to accommodate. If numbers drop significantly we will recalculate the quote fairly - we only charge for what you actually need.

Yes. We regularly cater wedding food van hire across Berkshire, Surrey, Wiltshire and into Greater London. See our wedding food van hire page or sister page for wedding catering across Surrey for more details.
