How our BBQ catering works in Breach
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. Typical bookings include back-garden get-togethers and neighbourhood parties, with beef burgers, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Breach, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Breach barbecues: local tips
Breach is about 5 miles north of Hawkinge, in Kent. Planning a catered barbecue in Breach? We can help. Breach is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
Historic houses near Breach include Acrise Place (3.4 miles south). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. A green space like Jumping Downs is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Breach, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.

How it works
We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. A summer barbecue in Breach stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.

Breach questions
How far is Breach from London?
About 58 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Breach?
Snowdown station, about 3.6 miles north-east of the centre.
What does the venue need to provide?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Can you do halal?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
