About our BBQ catering in Dymchurch
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Dymchurch, outdoors under cover, and our staff serve and clear.

The menu, dish by dish
Chicken skewers
Chicken skewers are grilled on site, a lighter choice than burgers.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
The process
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. In Dymchurch, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
