BBQ catering in Cudham
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
How our BBQ catering works in Cudham
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, because there’s beef, chicken and pork to choose from, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. On the menu are chicken skewers, coleslaw and pulled pork, and we are regularly asked to cater birthdays and milestone parties and reunions and family get-togethers.
Country barbecues near Cudham are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

About 15 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Cudham?
The closest is Chelsfield station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Do you cover Cudham?

Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
For event organisers in Cudham
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
About the food
Chicken skewers
Our chef grills chicken on skewers, a lighter choice than burgers.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is slow-cooked until it falls apart, piled into rolls.
The process
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. At midsummer, it is light in Cudham until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.

- We check it and send a price.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
