About our BBQ catering in Millbank
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. You choose the mix that suits your event. We’re frequently asked to cater community fun days and fundraising barbecues, serving beef brisket, beef burgers and pulled pork.
In a small place like Millbank, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

How the day works
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving for as long as we’ve agreed. For an evening barbecue in Millbank, think about light: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Millbank: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Millbank?

What’s the nearest station to Millbank?
Herne Bay station, about 2.4 miles north-west of the centre.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a row of street-food vans, one catered barbecue keeps everyone eating together, with a menu planned around your guests. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why Millbank hosts choose us
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- An itemised quote
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Parking near the grill
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
