Common questions in Hinxhill Park
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Hinxhill Park too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Burgers and sausages are typically the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Is the food cooked safely?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.

Why choose BBQ catering in Hinxhill Park?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
How it works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. In Hinxhill Park, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
How to get a price
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
