A barbecue near Daniel's Water
How our BBQ catering works in Daniel's Water
There’s something about a barbecue that gets people talking: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. We’ll find the right spot at your venue in Daniel's Water. For family celebrations and big birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of pulled pork, halloumi skewers and coleslaw for your guests.
In a small place like Daniel's Water, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

Burgers cook quickly on the grill, which helps at busy times.

Planning a barbecue in Daniel's Water
Daniel's Water is about 3 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. Hosts in Daniel's Water book us for events of all sizes. We cater all 922 towns and villages in Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 16 miles away.
Thinking of a barbecue in Ashford Community Woodland? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, generally the council’s. For anyone arriving by rail, Pluckley station, about 2.6 miles north-west, is the nearest station. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Daniel's Water, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Daniel's Water
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Ashford Community Woodland?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Do you offer halal meat?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
What does the venue need to provide?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We’ll check anything else with you.
Why choose BBQ catering in Daniel's Water?
Compared with food vans, a single barbecue feeds your group together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
