A catered BBQ in Chilmington Green: what to know
Chilmington Green is about 2 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. Chilmington Green and the surrounding area are covered for events. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 15 miles away.
For a fundraiser at a school like Great Chart Primary School, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school. Thinking of a barbecue in Ashford Community Woodland?

Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.

Your event could be at a house on Mock Lane, Oakwood Mews and Hays Mews or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook.
