BBQ catering for your event in Hampton
In Hampton, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. For reunions and family get-togethers and school fairs and summer fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of beef burgers, BBQ ribs and coleslaw for your guests.
Barbecues around Hampton are often relaxed garden affairs. A catered barbecue fits right in, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
A closer look at the menu
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, hot off the barbecue.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Hampton questions
What’s the nearest station to Hampton?
Herne Bay station, about 1 mile south-east of the centre.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
How much choice do we need?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Served at the time you choose
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Our chef at the grill, not you

The process
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. Autumn and winter barbecues in Hampton get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
