Your questions about a catered barbecue in Boughton Lees
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Boughton Lees?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
When should we book?

Does rain stop the barbecue?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Use our quote form.
Is the meat halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
