About our BBQ catering in Finglesham
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. On the menu are coleslaw, beef brisket and sausages, and we’re frequently booked for street parties and back-garden get-togethers.
Country barbecues near Finglesham are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
What comes off the grill
Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, which helps at busy times alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

A catered BBQ in Finglesham: what to know
Finglesham is about 2 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. We are happy to travel to Finglesham for events and the places nearby. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Finglesham to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
PTAs at schools such as Northbourne Church of England Primary School often look for a barbecue for fairs and sports days. Thinking of a barbecue in Betteshanger Park? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, normally the council’s.
