Questions from Leadingcross Green
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Leadingcross Green from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
How much choice do we need?
Not generally. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Fill in our quote form.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Leadingcross Green. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about children’s numbers
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. For an evening barbecue in Leadingcross Green, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
