BBQ catering for your event in Charing Hill
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. For community fun days and fundraising barbecues, we can cook chicken skewers, sausages and halloumi skewers and more.
Near Charing Hill, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What happens on the day
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. In Charing Hill, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

How we price a catered barbecue
Things that change the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
A catered BBQ in Charing Hill: what to know
Charing Hill is about 6 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. We’re happy to travel to Charing Hill for events and the places nearby. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Charing Hill to Canterbury (about 13 miles away).
Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as Charing Church of England Primary School, frequently want a barbecue. If you had Spuckles and Kennelling Woods in mind, ask the council or landowner first: barbecues are often restricted in parks. Charing Hill is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
Wherever your event is in TN27, we can cook on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Nearby, we also cater events in Stocker's Head (1 mile east), Stalisfield (2 miles north), Stalisfield Green (2 miles north), Paddock (2 miles east) and The Valley (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (12 miles west), Ashford (6 miles south-east), Canterbury (13 miles east), Sittingbourne (9 miles north), Whitstable (14 miles north-east) and Faversham (8 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Newnham Castle (4.8 miles north).
- Pubs nearby include King's Head Public House (0.6 miles south-west)
Working with your venue
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. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a buffet, everything is hot and freshly cooked, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
