- A wet-weather plan for your guests

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Farthingloe
The biggest factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. Autumn and winter barbecues in Farthingloe get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Include children in your numbers

Which station is closest to Farthingloe?
Dover Priory station, about 1.3 miles north-east of the centre.
Is there anything for vegans?

Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we will quote for the mix.

Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, everything is hot and freshly cooked. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
