BBQ catering in Ebbsfleet Valley, cooked on site
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. On the menu are BBQ ribs, beef burgers and sausages, and we’re frequently booked for school fairs and summer fêtes and leaving and retirement parties.
Barbecues around Ebbsfleet Valley are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A catered barbecue fits right in, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
What affects the price in Ebbsfleet Valley
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.

What comes off the grill
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes for a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
How the day works
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Autumn and winter barbecues in Ebbsfleet Valley get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

FAQs for Ebbsfleet Valley
Can you do a barbecue in Castle Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Ebbsfleet Valley?

How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.

Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

How much choice do we need?
Not typically. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
