Bekesbourne Hill questions
What’s the nearest station to Bekesbourne Hill?
Bekesbourne station, in Bekesbourne Hill itself.
Is Bekesbourne Hill close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
How much choice do we need?
You do not need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we’ll advise on the rest.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you need anything from us?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What comes off the grill
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Coleslaw is the natural partner for pulled pork, while salads keep it light.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the cooking is in experienced hands. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
