BBQ catering in Eastling, cooked on site
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. We serve halloumi skewers, sausages and pulled pork, and we are often booked for garden parties and birthdays and milestone parties.
In a small place like Eastling, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

How it works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. Autumn and winter barbecues in Eastling get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

Questions from Eastling
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Eastling?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up. China is available on request.
Do you cover Eastling?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Eastling and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A clear way in from where we park
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
