Sausages
Sausages are a barbecue favourite, served in a roll or with sides.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Coleslaw is the natural partner for pulled pork, and salads add freshness.
Capstone questions
Can you do a barbecue in Darland Banks?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
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.

- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
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 BBQ catering costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Why choose BBQ catering in Capstone?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Why us?
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Sides to make it a full meal

What happens on the day
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. For an evening barbecue in Capstone, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
