BBQ catering for your event in Kingsdown
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. You choose the mix that suits your event. For evening wedding food and summer parties in the garden, we will put together a menu of chicken skewers, coleslaw and BBQ ribs and more.
In a place like Kingsdown, a barbecue at home is typically the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will do the rest. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed

A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Questions from Kingsdown
Which station is closest to Kingsdown?
Walmer station, about 1.3 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Kingsdown?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
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.
How do you handle food safety?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Do you label the food for allergies?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Kingsdown
- Site access
- The number of people
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
