The process
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Autumn and winter barbecues in Davington get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
How to prepare

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Davington
Which station is closest to Davington?
Faversham station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you do a barbecue in Oare Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you cover Davington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Davington and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Where the barbecue can go in Davington
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Distance from us
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Planning for dietary needs
