How our BBQ catering works in Cliffe
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. Whether it is evening wedding food and school fairs and summer fêtes, we can cook beef burgers, pulled pork and BBQ ribs for your guests.
Near Cliffe, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
Cliffe: your questions answered
How far is Cliffe from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Cliffe?
The closest is Higham station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What does the venue need to provide?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Step by step
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. Evening barbecues in Cliffe need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
