BBQ catering for Faversham
How our BBQ catering works in Faversham
In Faversham, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. For team days and staff summer parties and street parties, we can cook beef brisket, BBQ ribs and beef burgers and more.
In Faversham, barbecues are booked for parties, work days and club events. Wherever it is, there needs to be an outdoor spot to cook. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
What BBQ catering costs
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Faversham
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.

Faversham: your questions answered
Could you cook in Oare Meadow?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Faversham?
Faversham station, in Faversham itself.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Fill in our quote form.
Should we have every meat?
Not normally. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we will advise on the rest.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Burgers and sausages are typically the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
After service, our staff clear up, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What we serve, dish by dish
Chicken skewers
Our chef grills chicken on skewers, a lighter choice than burgers.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a fixed venue menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

The process
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. At midsummer, it is light in Faversham until about 9:15pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:00pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
