Guilton barbecues: local tips
Guilton is about 7 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. We cover Guilton and its neighbours for events. We bring barbecues to 922 places across Kent. We cater events right across the region, from Guilton to Canterbury (8 miles away).
If the day starts at a church like Church of St Nicholas, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, often want a barbecue.
For events in CT3, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and roughly how many guests. That could mean an event in a garden on Guilton, Durlock Road and Poulton Lane, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the barbecue. Close by, we cover events in Durlock (1 mile south-west), Ash (1 mile east), Weddington (1 mile north-east), Flemings (1 mile south-east) and Cop Street (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (8 miles west), Margate (9 miles north-east), Dover (10 miles south), Folkestone (14 miles south), Ramsgate (7 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (9 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find White Mill (2.6 miles east). Within reach you will find Monk's Wall nature reserve.
- Local pubs include The Chequer Inn (less than half a mile east)
BBQ catering in Guilton, cooked on site
With BBQ catering, the barbecue, the food and the cooking are all on us. Our chef grills on site in Guilton, under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We are frequently asked to cater work barbecues and summer parties in the garden, serving beef brisket, BBQ ribs and pulled pork.
In a small place like Guilton, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. At midsummer, it is light in Guilton until about 9:15pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:00pm.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose the menu a week or so before

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
Planning the cooking spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- A clear way in from where we park
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
