Clapper Hill barbecues: local tips
Clapper Hill is about 10 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. Planning a catered barbecue in Clapper Hill? We can help. We cater 922 places in Kent. We cater events right across the region, from Clapper Hill to Canterbury (about 23 miles away).
Coming by train? Headcorn station, about 4.8 miles north, is the nearest station. Thinking of a barbecue in Wattle Wood?

A summer barbecue in Clapper Hill stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:00pm.
