BBQ catering in Erriottwood, cooked on site
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a photo of the space and we’ll confirm it. On the menu are halloumi skewers, beef brisket and beef burgers, and we are often booked for engagement and anniversary parties and community fun days.
In a small place like Erriottwood, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planning the cooking spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
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. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
How we price a catered barbecue
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
FAQs for Erriottwood
Is Erriottwood too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you offer halal meat?
We do not. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.

- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
