BBQ catering in Martin
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
BBQ catering in Martin, cooked on site
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We serve halloumi skewers, beef burgers and chicken skewers, and we are frequently booked for work barbecues and cricket, football and rugby club days.
Near Martin, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Martin barbecues: local tips
Martin is about 3 miles north-east of Dover, in Kent. Events in Martin are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Martin is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Martin to Canterbury (13 miles away).
Within reach of Martin are historic houses such as Walmer Castle (3 miles north-east). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. After a christening at a church such as Church of St Augustine, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. With the coast within about 4 miles of Martin, wind is the thing to plan for: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
We cater events across the CT15 postcode area and the streets around it. Whether your event is on The Street, Waterworks Lane and Ringwould Road or anywhere nearby, we can set up and cook there. We also bring barbecues to events in Martin Mill (1 mile south-east), East Langdon (1 mile south-west), West Langdon (1 mile west), Ringwould (1 mile north-east) and Sutton (1 mile north).

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Beef brisket
For beef lovers, brisket is the one to choose, served on a plate or in a roll.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
- Cooked on site by our chef, outdoors under cover
