Questions from Hartfield
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Hartfield?
The closest is Ashurst Kent station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Can you cater in Hartfield?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
What do children generally eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option.

About the food
BBQ ribs
Ribs make a barbecue feel like a feast, served alongside the burgers and sausages.
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, straight from the grill to the bun.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The process
We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Sunset in Hartfield is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is generally in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
- Let us know about tight access

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
