How we price a catered barbecue
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

- Any dietary needs or allergies

BBQ catering for your event in Hythe
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. On the menu are beef brisket, halloumi skewers and sausages, and typical bookings are for leaving parties and big birthday parties.
Birthdays, staff days and club events in Hythe all suit a catered barbecue. The common need is a spot outside for the grill. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Hythe barbecues: local tips
Hythe is about 4 miles west of Folkestone, in Kent. We’re happy to travel to Hythe for events. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our bookings stretch from Hythe to Canterbury (14 miles away).
After a christening at a church such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. For guests coming by train, Sandling station, about 1.4 miles north-west, is the nearest station. Hythe is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. With the coast within about a mile of Hythe, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
Events anywhere in CT21 start with an outdoor spot for the barbecue and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include High Street, Church Road and Station Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. Hythe is on the A259 and A261, which makes the journey straightforward. Close by, we cover events in Saltwood (1 mile north), Sandling (1 mile north-west), Pedlinge (1 mile north-west), Palmarsh (2 miles south-west) and West Hythe (2 miles west). Further out, we also cater in Ashford (10 miles north-west), Canterbury (14 miles north), Dover (11 miles north-east), Folkestone (4 miles east), Tower Hamlets (10 miles north-east) and Hawkinge (4 miles north-east).

Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Hythe?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.

How it works
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. In Hythe, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
