BBQ catering for your event in Frogham
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will work to it. For neighbourhood parties and informal weddings, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, sausages and beef burgers for your guests.
In a small place like Frogham, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Frogham questions
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Frogham close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you cover Frogham?
Yes, Frogham is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.

How it works
