How our BBQ catering works in Kippington
Some hosts in Kippington pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we’ll quote for both. We are often asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and fundraising barbecues, with chicken skewers, BBQ ribs and beef brisket.
Around Kippington, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with ordering takeaway, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, with the smell drawing people over. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Six meats to choose from
- Cooked on site by our chef
- No surprises: everything in writing

For event organisers in Kippington
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
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’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- Site access
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.

How the day works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. In Kippington, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Gather dietary requirements early
How to get a price

Brisket makes a barbecue feel like a proper meal.

A burger is the barbecue classic, loved by most ages.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.

Questions from Kippington
What’s the nearest station to Kippington?
Sevenoaks station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Could you cook in Montreal Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
What do children generally eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
