About our BBQ catering in Lydd
For bigger events in Lydd, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. Ask and we’ll quote for both. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and sports days and evening wedding food, with BBQ ribs, pulled pork and sausages.
Barbecues around Lydd are often relaxed garden affairs. A catered barbecue fits right in, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.

Next to doing the barbecue yourself, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the cooking is in experienced hands. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Lydd: your questions answered
Is Lydd close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
How much choice do we need?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
How it works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. Autumn and winter barbecues in Lydd get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
