Questions from Meopham
Which station is closest to Meopham?
The closest is Meopham station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you do a barbecue in Camer Park Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Will children like the BBQ?
Generally, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we’ll advise on the rest.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
BBQ catering for your event in Meopham
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. Typical bookings include club open days and retirement do’s, serving beef brisket, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
Around Meopham, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, and you will not spend it cooking. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu; have napkins ready.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why Meopham hosts choose us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Planned to your running order
Where the barbecue can go in Meopham
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the day works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Autumn and winter barbecues in Meopham get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Show us the space.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Preparing for the day
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Let us know about tight access
- Send final numbers in good time

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
- Our chef at the grill, so you don’t have to be
- A full barbecue menu, not just burgers
- Meat-free choices cooked separately
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
