Common questions in Kingston by Sea
Is Kingston by Sea close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Kingston by Sea?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you offer halal meat?
We do not. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
BBQ catering for your event in Kingston by Sea
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Kingston by Sea: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. For informal weddings and summer staff days, we will put together a menu of BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and beef burgers and more.
In a place like Kingston by Sea, a barbecue at home is generally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A clear way in from where we park
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A spot well clear of buildings
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
