Chicken skewers
Chicken gives guests who don’t eat pork or beef a meat option.
How it works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. A summer barbecue in Maxton stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.

- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

A catered BBQ in Maxton: what to know
Maxton is about 1 mile south-west of Tower Hamlets, in Kent. We cover Maxton and its neighbours for events. Maxton is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Maxton to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
For anyone arriving by rail, Dover Priory station, about 0.8 miles north-east, is the nearest station. A green space like Western Heights LNR is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. With the coast within about 2 miles of Maxton, wind is the thing to plan for: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
Anywhere in CT17 and CT15, we can cook on site for your guests. Local streets include Cow Lane, Manor Road and Mount Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Aycliffe (1 mile south), Farthingloe (1 mile south-west), Dover (1 mile north), Church Hougham (2 miles west) and River (2 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (14 miles north-west), Folkestone (6 miles south-west), Deal (8 miles north-east), Hythe (10 miles west), Walmer (7 miles north-east) and Hawkinge (6 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Old Town Gaol (1 mile north-east) and Dover Castle (1.6 miles east). Within reach you’ll find Dover Western Heights.
- Schools near Maxton include Astor College for the Arts (within half a mile north) and St Edmund's Catholic School (1.3 miles north-east)
- Pubs nearby include Crown & Sceptre pub (under half a mile north-east)
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Maxton: your questions answered
Could you cook in Western Heights LNR?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Maxton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Do you offer halal meat?
We do not. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
