Who books BBQ catering in Denton?
A full barbecue menu, not just burgers
We’re booked for all kinds of occasions in Denton and nearby. Some of the most common are:
- Back-garden get-togethers
- School fairs and summer fêtes
- Fundraising days
- Reunions and family get-togethers
Thinking of a barbecue in Northfleet Urban Country Park? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, generally the council’s.
Before booking anyone
- If the price includes VAT
- The full menu and the sides
- What crockery is supplied
- A clear list of what’s included
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
What happens on the day
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you.

- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.

Questions from Denton
What’s the nearest station to Denton?
The closest is Gravesend station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Could you cook in Northfleet Urban Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
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: send us your details through our quote form.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there is enough.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Why choose BBQ catering in Denton?
Compared with a cold buffet, everything is hot and freshly cooked. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
