About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Littlebourne?
Bekesbourne station, about 1.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Normally, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are generally easier to get. Use our quote form.
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.
What happens after service?

Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Beef brisket
For beef lovers, brisket is the one to choose, served on a plate or in a roll.
What happens on the day
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. A summer barbecue in Littlebourne stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.
