Real Food. Wild Fire. No Nonsense.
At Scout & Hunter, our story isn’t told in a boardroom—it’s written in the forest soil and the glowing embers of a live fire. We’ve traded corporate pretension and "catering by numbers" for a more visceral, hands-on way of eating. Operating across Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, and Somerset, we bridge the gap between the untamed wilderness and high-impact event catering.
Beyond the BBQ: A Dual Culinary Soul
Our Roots: Foraged & Fired
We aren't just a barbecue outfit; we are a balance of the land’s quiet offerings and the fire’s raw power. Our approach is refined but rugged, combining technical skill with a gritty, field-to-fork ethos.
-
The Scout (Nova): A forager and Leiths-trained expert with 20 years of experience. Nova treats the landscape as her pantry, bringing a chef’s precision to foraged botanicals, intricate plant-based dishes, and handcrafted patisserie.
-
The Hunter (Darren): Our "Aussie Flame-Feeder." Bringing the heat of Australian live-fire traditions, Darren uses smoke and flame to transform premium local meats and seasonal greens, turning the grill into high-impact, rustic theatre.
90% Local. 100% Authentic.
We don’t just source ingredients; we hunt for them. 90% of our produce comes directly from local fields, forests, and farms. As members of the New Forest Marque, we ensure every bite—from artisanal cheeses to wild-foraged herbs—supports the local soil and tastes exactly as nature intended.
We love hosting special events and occasions, it's what we do. Whether we're the main feature of your event, or working diligently in the background, we deliver a highly memorable culinary experience every time.

Whether you are under the stars or inside a grand venue, we adapt to your space. While we love the drama of live-fire theatre, we are just as at home serving our "Slow & Low" menu indoors. These dishes are cooked long and slow to bring out maximum flavor, allowing us to bring our signature rustic style to any setting without needing a fire pit in the room
Ready to ditch the predictable and embrace the authentic
We believe your celebration deserves something more visceral than "catering by numbers." Operating across Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, and Somerset, we create immersive culinary experiences where the ingredients tell the story and the fire provides the theatre.
