BBQ catering for your event in Great Stonar
Some hosts in Great Stonar pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. We can quote for either or both. On the menu are chicken skewers, pulled pork and beef burgers, and we’re often booked for 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and club open days.
In a small place like Great Stonar, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Common questions in Great Stonar
What’s the nearest station to Great Stonar?
Sandwich station, about 1.2 miles south of the centre.
Can you do a barbecue in Prince's Beachlands?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there is enough.

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Great Stonar and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.

How the day works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Evening barbecues in Great Stonar need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
