How our BBQ catering works in Kings Hill
Some hosts in Kings Hill pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. Ask and we’ll quote for both. Whether it’s work barbecues and reunions and family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of sausages, coleslaw and beef brisket for your guests.
For a barbecue in Kings Hill, the garden is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausages
Grilled until golden and cooked right through, they’re the easy crowd-pleaser.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.

Common questions in Kings Hill
Which station is closest to Kings Hill?
The closest is West Malling station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Is Kings Hill close to London?
About 27 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you do halal?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up. China is available on request.

Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What happens on the day
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. In Kings Hill, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Kings Hill barbecues: local tips
Kings Hill is about 5 miles west of Maidstone, in Kent. Events in Kings Hill are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. Kings Hill is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Kings Hill to London (about 27 miles away).
Thinking of a barbecue in Manor Park Country Park? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, normally the council’s. Coming by train? The nearest station is West Malling station, about 1.5 miles north-east.
For events in ME19, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and roughly how many guests. Whether your event is on Churchill Square, Townsend Square and Ruton Square or anywhere nearby, we can set up and cook there. If your venue is just outside Kings Hill, we also cover Well Street (1 mile north-east), Red Hill (1 mile south-east), Wateringbury (1 mile south-east), West Malling (2 miles north) and Nettlestead (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (5 miles east), Sittingbourne (15 miles east), Dartford (14 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (9 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (11 miles south-west) and Gravesend (11 miles north).
Well-known places in the area include Maidstone Hospital (3.4 miles east) and Leybourne Castle (2.3 miles north).
- Local schools include The Malling School (1.7 miles north-east)
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
Send us the date, the address or ME19 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
- Grilled at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Burgers, sausages and chicken, plus ribs, pulled pork and brisket
- Meat-free choices cooked separately
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
