Luddesdown: your questions answered
Could you cook in Camer Park Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Luddesdown close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we’ll advise on the rest.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Can you cater in Luddesdown?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Luddesdown and Kent. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What do children typically eat?
Burgers and sausages are typically the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.

What we serve, dish by dish
Sausages
Sausages go down well with younger guests, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- Parking near the grill
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
