A barbecue near Burstow
BBQ catering in Burstow, served hot
For bigger events in Burstow, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. Ask and we will quote for both. On the menu are pulled pork, beef brisket and BBQ ribs, and we are regularly asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and school fairs and summer fêtes.
In a small place like Burstow, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
FAQs for Burstow
Do you come out to small places like Burstow?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Burstow from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you need anything from us?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
How much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Is the meat halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Why choose BBQ catering in Burstow?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Burstow hosts choose us
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Served at the time you choose
- Our chef at the grill, not you

How it works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. By late September, sunset in Burstow is about 7:05pm; in December it is about 3:55pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
