BBQ catering for Eastry
BBQ catering for your event in Eastry
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We are frequently asked to cater team days and staff summer parties and leaving and retirement parties, with coleslaw, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
In a place like Eastry, a barbecue at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Where the barbecue can go in Eastry
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- A spot well clear of buildings

Eastry questions
How far is Eastry from London?
About 63 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a barbecue in Ham Fen?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. China is available on request.
How do you handle food safety?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Do you come to Eastry?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Why choose BBQ catering in Eastry?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. 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. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
