How our BBQ catering works in Brattle
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. You choose the mix that suits your event. For engagement and anniversary parties and evening wedding food, we’ll put together a menu of sausages, coleslaw and beef brisket.
Near Brattle, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Brattle barbecues: local tips
Brattle is about 6 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Hosts in Brattle book us for events of all sizes. Brattle is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 20 miles away.
Within reach of Brattle are historic houses such as Smallhythe Place (4.1 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early. After a christening at a church such as Parish Church of All Saints, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.
Wherever your event is in TN26, we can bring the barbecue to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Front Road, Lower Road and Appledore Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

- Mention any guests who avoid beef

Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Common questions in Brattle
Do you come out to small places like Brattle?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Brattle?
Appledore (Kent) station, about 3.1 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you offer halal meat?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up. China is available on request.
How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
What BBQ catering costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
