Garlinge questions
What’s the nearest station to Garlinge?
Margate station, about 0.8 miles north-east of the centre.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Should we have every meat?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we’ll advise on the rest.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
How it works
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Garlinge until about 9:15pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Send final numbers in good time

How we price a catered barbecue
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Site access
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
Running late? Let us know, and we will adjust where we can.
