BBQ catering in Coxheath, cooked on site
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. Whether it’s informal weddings and fundraising barbecues, we’ll put together a menu of sausages, coleslaw and beef brisket.
For a barbecue in Coxheath, the garden is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a fixed venue menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- An itemised quote

Questions from Coxheath
Which station is closest to Coxheath?
East Farleigh station, about 1.5 miles north of the centre.
Can you do a barbecue in Quarry Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
When should we book BBQ catering?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
Is the meat halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Should we have every meat?
You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
Barbecue venues around Coxheath
Coxheath is about 3 miles south-west of Maidstone, in Kent. Events in Coxheath are part of our patch. We cater all 922 towns and villages across Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 25 miles away.
Churches such as Holy Trinity Church rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby generally does. If you had Quarry Wood in mind, ask the council or landowner first: barbecues are often restricted in parks. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Coxheath, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
We cover events in every part of ME17 and ME15 and the streets around it. Local streets include Westway, Stockett Lane and Orchard Close; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Close by, we cover events in Dean Street (1 mile north), East Farleigh (1 mile north-west), Farleigh Green (2 miles north-west), Kettle Corner (2 miles north-west) and Hunton (2 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Maidstone (3 miles north-east), Sittingbourne (13 miles north-east), Sevenoaks (14 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (12 miles south-west), Gravesend (14 miles north) and Tonbridge (10 miles west).

About the food
Pulled pork
A pulled pork roll is a barbecue favourite, filling and easy to eat.
Beef brisket
Beef brisket is slow-cooked and sliced, for a more substantial plate.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask which items contain gluten
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Step by step
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. Sunset in Coxheath is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
