BBQ catering in Lyminge, served hot
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Give us your serving time and we’ll plan around it. We serve sausages, chicken skewers and beef burgers, and we’re often booked for informal weddings and reunions and family get-togethers.
In a small place like Lyminge, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
A catered BBQ in Lyminge: what to know
Lyminge is about 4 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. Thinking about a catered barbecue in Lyminge? We cover the whole area. Lyminge is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
If guests are travelling by rail, Sandling station is about 2.8 miles away. Within reach of Lyminge are historic houses such as Acrise Place (2.1 miles east) and Westenhanger Castle (3.4 miles south-west). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Lyminge, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first. With the coast within about 5 miles of Lyminge, wind is the thing to plan for: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.

The process
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. Evening barbecues in Lyminge need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Served at the time you choose

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
