About our BBQ catering in Aldington Frith
With BBQ catering, the barbecue, the food and the cooking are all on us. We cook on site at your event in Aldington Frith, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We serve beef burgers, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers, and we’re often booked for summer parties in the garden and charity fundraisers.
Country barbecues near Aldington Frith are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so there is no need to borrow a grill.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Parking near the grill
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Planning a barbecue in Aldington Frith
Aldington Frith is about 4 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Hosts in Aldington Frith book us for events of all sizes. We bring barbecues to all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 15 miles away.
Coming by train? The closest railway station is Ham Street station, roughly 3.3 miles south-west of the centre. A green space like Poulton Wood is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Aldington Frith, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
We cater events across the TN25 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Frith Road, Bourne Road and Priory Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Bonnington (1 mile south-east), Clap Hill (1 mile east), Aldington (1 mile east), Stonestreet Green (1 mile east) and Postling Green (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Ashford (4 miles north-west), Canterbury (15 miles north-east), Folkestone (11 miles east), Faversham (15 miles north), Hythe (7 miles east) and Preston (15 miles north).
A little further out are Ashford Designer Outlet (3.4 miles north-west) and Lympne Castle (4.9 miles east). Within reach you’ll find Hatch Park.
For event organisers in Aldington Frith
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

What else we do in Aldington Frith
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Our staff serve and clear
