Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
How our BBQ catering works in Eythorne
Some hosts in Eythorne pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Whether it is relaxed weddings and evening receptions and Fêtes, fairs and sports days, we can cook beef burgers, coleslaw and sausages and more.
Country barbecues near Eythorne are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, which helps at busy times alongside the slow-cooked meats.
The process
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. After service, we clear up and pack away. Sunset in Eythorne is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Eythorne barbecues: local tips
Eythorne is about 4 miles north of Dover, in Kent. We cover events in Eythorne. We bring barbecues to all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
Churches such as Church of St Peter and St Paul rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby usually does. Historic houses near Eythorne include Goodnestone Park (3.6 miles north-west). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Eythorne, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first. With the coast within about 6 miles of Eythorne, wind is the thing to plan for: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
This part of Kent takes in CT15. That could mean an event in a garden on The Street, Sandwich Road and New Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.

Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.

Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
What do you need from the venue?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
What do children typically eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in from where we park
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A spot well clear of buildings
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
