A catered BBQ in Edenbridge: what to know
Edenbridge is about 6 miles north-east of East Grinstead, in Kent. We cover Edenbridge and its neighbours for events. We bring barbecues to 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 22 miles away.
PTAs at schools such as Edenbridge Primary School often look for a barbecue for fairs and sports days. Within reach of Edenbridge are historic houses such as Hever Castle (2.4 miles south-east) and Chartwell (3.1 miles north). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Edenbridge. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
Here we cover the TN8 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. That could mean an event in a garden on Station Road, High Street and Wellingtonia Way or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the barbecue. You’ll find Edenbridge on the B2026 and B2027, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. We also bring barbecues to events in Marlpit Hill (1 mile north), Mowshurst (1 mile north-east), Troy Town (1 mile north-west), Pootings (2 miles north-east) and Four Elms (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cater in Sevenoaks (8 miles north-east), Royal Tunbridge Wells (10 miles south-east), Tonbridge (9 miles east), Swanley (14 miles north), Paddock Wood (14 miles east) and Southborough (9 miles east).

- Pubs nearby include The White Horse Inn (less than half a mile south)
BBQ catering in Edenbridge, served hot
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we will work to it. For relaxed weddings and evening receptions and family celebrations, we can cook chicken skewers, coleslaw and halloumi skewers and more.
For a barbecue in Edenbridge, the garden is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Edenbridge: your questions answered
Is Edenbridge close to London?
About 22 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Is the food cooked safely?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Step by step
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. In Edenbridge, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll work around it where possible.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Parking near the grill
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and it does not need a kitchen. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why Edenbridge hosts choose us
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Hot food straight off the grill
