BBQ catering for your event in Dunbridge
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. For garden parties and retirement do’s, we will put together a menu of sausages, beef brisket and coleslaw for your guests.
Near Dunbridge, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

Dunbridge questions
How far is Dunbridge from London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Dunbridge too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot well clear of buildings
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
