About our BBQ catering in Bridge
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. For community fun days and team days and staff summer parties, we will put together a menu of BBQ ribs, beef burgers and sausages.
Near Bridge, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Your questions about a catered barbecue in Bridge
Is Bridge too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Bridge close to London?
About 55 miles from central London.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Do you come to Bridge?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Bridge and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
What does the venue need to provide?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
What else we do in Bridge
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Step by step
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. For an evening barbecue in Bridge, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
How to prepare
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Think about shelter for your guests
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

What affects the price in Bridge
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays

When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
