Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The number of people
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. From there, we cook as your guests come up, worked around your serving time. A summer barbecue in Fleeden stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.

FAQs for Fleeden
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

How far is Fleeden from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: use our quote form.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
How much choice do we need?
You do not need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we will advise on the rest.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
