BBQ catering for Ashford
BBQ catering in Ashford, served hot
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Ashford: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. Typical bookings include fundraising barbecues and retirement do’s, serving beef burgers, BBQ ribs and coleslaw.
Garden barbecues are a classic in Ashford, with a club, hall or pub garden as a good alternative. All we need is a level spot with clearance. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
How the day works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Sunset in Ashford is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day

Where the barbecue can go in Ashford
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we serve, dish by dish
Beef burgers
A burger is the barbecue classic, loved by most ages.
Sausages

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Why choose BBQ catering in Ashford?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why Ashford hosts choose us
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- A full barbecue menu
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Served at the time you choose
