Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.

Hacklinge: your questions answered
Is Hacklinge close to London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What do children generally eat?
Usually, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
About the food
Sausages
Sausages are a barbecue favourite, in a roll or on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
What BBQ catering costs
We work out each quote from:
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
