A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order, and nothing sits out all afternoon. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

Knockholt Pound questions
Can you do a barbecue in Polhill Bank?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Knockholt Pound?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
What does the venue need to provide?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Planners, venues and businesses
