East Hill: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like East Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.

A barbecue or other catering?
