BBQ catering in Capel-le-Ferne, cooked on site
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. On the menu are beef brisket, beef burgers and sausages, and we’re frequently booked for school fairs and summer fêtes and evening wedding food.
A barbecue in the countryside near Capel-le-Ferne makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
About the food
Chicken skewers
Chicken skewers are grilled on site, for guests who prefer chicken.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Folkestone Central station, about 2.4 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
