About our BBQ catering in Frittenden
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. Whether it is informal weddings and school fairs and summer fêtes, we can cook chicken skewers, beef burgers and pulled pork.
Country barbecues near Frittenden are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
What happens on the day
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. Autumn and winter barbecues in Frittenden get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Frittenden questions
What’s the nearest station to Frittenden?
Headcorn station, about 2.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Frittenden too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: use our quote form.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
What BBQ catering costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel to Frittenden
- Access to the cooking area
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
Send us the date, the address or TN17 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes

Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A clear way in from where we park
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
