BBQ catering in Broadstone, cooked on site
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. Whether it’s family celebrations and informal weddings, we can cook chicken skewers, halloumi skewers and BBQ ribs for your guests.
Country barbecues near Broadstone are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Broadstone: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Broadstone?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Fill in our quote form.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Why choose BBQ catering in Broadstone?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Our staff serve and clear

Before you choose a spot

- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Parking near the grill
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Broadstone
Your quote depends on:
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Step by step
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. In Broadstone, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
