FAQs for Chiddingstone Causeway
What’s the nearest station to Chiddingstone Causeway?
Chiddingstone Causeway has its own station: Penshurst station.
Do you come out to small places like Chiddingstone Causeway?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
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 need anything from us?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How it works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. Evening barbecues in Chiddingstone Causeway need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why Chiddingstone Causeway hosts choose us
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Planned to your running order
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Sides to make it a full meal

- Let us know roughly how many children are coming

- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
