Your questions about a catered barbecue in Chilton
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to Chilton?
The closest is Ramsgate station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Chilton. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Why choose BBQ catering in Chilton?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, 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?. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

Barbecues in Chilton: gardens, clubs and local tips
Chilton is about 1 mile south-west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Chilton is well within our area for events. Chilton is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cater. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Quex Park (3.9 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early. Thinking of a barbecue in Sandwich and Pegwell Bay? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, usually the council’s. With the coast within about 2 miles of Chilton, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
Anywhere in CT11 and CT12, we can cook on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your event could be at a house on Saxon Road, Downs Road and Edith Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook.

What happens on the day
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. Evening barbecues in Chilton need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
