Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
For event organisers in Bossingham
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Space, access and the venue
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Parking near the grill
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer

Bossingham questions
Is Bossingham too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Bossingham?
Chartham station, about 4.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we will advise on the rest.
How it works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. Evening barbecues in Bossingham need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
