How we price a catered barbecue
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Brook
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
The process
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. By late September, sunset in Brook is about 7:00pm; in December it’s about 3:50pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or TN25 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

Brook questions
Is Brook close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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 follow the site rules.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Brook. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Use our quote form.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
What meats do you barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

A barbecue or other catering?
Instead of a takeaway delivery, a barbecue becomes part of the event, with the smell drawing people over. 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.
