How our BBQ catering works in Beltinge
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. Our chef grills on site in Beltinge, under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. Popular choices include pulled pork, halloumi skewers and beef burgers, and typical bookings are for informal weddings and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays.
For a barbecue in Beltinge, the garden is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, everything is hot and freshly cooked, and nothing sits out all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Beltinge hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Timed around your day

How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. A summer barbecue in Beltinge stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:00pm.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Barbecues in Beltinge: gardens, clubs and local tips
Beltinge is about 1 mile east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Events in Beltinge are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Beltinge is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Beltinge to Canterbury (about 7 miles away).
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Herne Bay station, about 1.9 miles west. If the day starts at a church like Church of St Bartholomew, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. The sea is within about 2 miles of Beltinge, so breezy days are common: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
Anywhere in CT6, we can bring the barbecue to you. We can cater an event on streets such as Manor Road, Puffin Road and Cliff Avenue, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.

Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
