BBQ catering for Burlings
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
BBQ catering in Burlings, served hot
Barbecue food is sociable food: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. In Burlings, we’ll set up where it suits your event. We are often asked to cater big birthday parties and work barbecues, serving halloumi skewers, BBQ ribs and pulled pork.
A barbecue in the countryside near Burlings makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
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. At midsummer, it is light in Burlings until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.

Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A green light from whoever owns the site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Common questions in Burlings
Do you come out to small places like Burlings?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Burlings?
The closest is Knockholt station, roughly 3 miles away.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you cater in Burlings?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Burlings and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Let us know how many to expect.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Why choose BBQ catering in Burlings?
