Why choose BBQ catering in Eynsford?
Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. 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’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us

- A choice of salads and potatoes

About our BBQ catering in Eynsford
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, because there’s beef, chicken and pork to choose from, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. We are frequently asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and leaving and retirement parties, serving sausages, coleslaw and beef burgers.
In a small place like Eynsford, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

For event organisers in Eynsford
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

How it works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it is flexible. Sunset in Eynsford is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
