A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Timed around your day
- Serving and clearing done for you

What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner

Planning a barbecue in Chartway Street
Chartway Street is about 5 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. Chartway Street and the surrounding area are covered for events. Chartway Street is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 21 miles away.
Within reach of Chartway Street are historic houses such as Leeds Castle (2 miles north) and Stoneacre (2.6 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early. For a fundraiser at a school like Kingswood Primary School, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Chartway Street, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.
For events in ME17, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include Chartway Street and Workhouse Lane, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. We also bring barbecues to events in Kingswood (1 mile north-east), Ulcombe (1 mile south-east), Broomfield (2 miles north-east), Leeds (2 miles north) and Ashbank (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (5 miles north-west), Ashford (12 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (10 miles north-east), Tonbridge (15 miles west), Faversham (13 miles north-east) and Kings Hill (10 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Sutton Valence Castle (1 mile south-west) and KIMS hospital (5.1 miles north-west).
How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. At midsummer, it is light in Chartway Street until about 9:15pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
