Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.

BBQ catering in Barrowhill, served hot
In Barrowhill, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. For charity fundraisers and Fêtes, fairs and sports days, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, coleslaw and chicken skewers for your guests.
A barbecue in the countryside near Barrowhill makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a buffet, everything is hot and freshly cooked. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

A green space like Sandling Park is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. Nearby historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (1 mile east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early. Barrowhill is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first. With the coast within about 4 miles of Barrowhill, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.

Common questions in Barrowhill
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Which station is closest to Barrowhill?
Westenhanger station, about 1.3 miles east of the centre.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
