- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
After service, our staff clear up, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why choose BBQ catering in Lympne?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Cooked on site by our chef
- An itemised quote
- A full barbecue menu

Questions from Lympne
How far is Lympne from London?
About 57 miles from central London.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Can you cater in Lympne?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
What do children usually eat?
Normally, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
For event organisers in Lympne
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Step by step
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. For an evening barbecue in Lympne, think about light: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
