Questions from Graveney
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the nearest station to Graveney?
Faversham station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you cover Graveney?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Graveney and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How it works
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving for as long as we’ve agreed. A summer barbecue in Graveney 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.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
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
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
