How our BBQ catering works in Herne

Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. For community fun days and informal weddings, we’ll put together a menu of beef burgers, sausages and coleslaw.

Around Herne, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A catered barbecue fits right in, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Planning for dietary needs

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:

Mention any guests who avoid beef
Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats

Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.

Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.

Barbecue venues around Herne

Herne is about 1 mile south of Herne Bay, in Kent. Planning a catered barbecue in Herne? We cover the whole area. We cater 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages.

After a christening at a church such as Church of St Martin, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Herne Church of England Infant School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser. With the coast within about 2 miles of Herne, wind is the thing to plan for: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.

Nearby, we also cater events in Hunters Forstal (1 mile north-east), Eddington (1 mile north-west), Herne Common (1 mile south-west), Bullockstone (1 mile west) and Broomfield (1 mile north-east).

Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Herne questions

Can you do a barbecue in Curtis Wood?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

What’s the nearest station to Herne?

The closest is Herne Bay station, roughly 1.2 miles away.

Should we have every meat?

You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.

What can we have at a catered barbecue?

Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Can you do halal?

We don’t. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.

Do we have to eat from rolls?

Of course. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate.

What do you need from the venue?

A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.

Is there anything for vegans?

Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there is enough.

How it works

Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it is flexible. Evening barbecues in Herne need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
