About our BBQ catering in Brenchley
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. For club open days and evening wedding food, we can cook BBQ ribs, beef burgers and pulled pork.
Near Brenchley, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- A clear way in from where we park
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Can it be a sit-down meal?
