About the food
Chicken skewers
Skewers are easy to serve and easy to eat, on a plate or in a roll.
Beef burgers
No barbecue is complete without burgers, loved by most ages.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or CT4 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Running late? Let us know, and we’ll adjust where we can.

Barbecues in Mystole: gardens, clubs and local tips
Mystole is about 4 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. We’re happy to travel to Mystole for events and the places nearby. We bring barbecues to all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages.
PTAs at schools such as Chartham Primary School frequently look for a barbecue for fairs and sports days. Thinking of a barbecue in Broadham Down? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, generally the council’s. Mystole is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
We cover events in every part of CT4 and the streets around it. That could mean an event in a garden on Thruxted Lane and Mystole Lane, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. We also bring barbecues to events in Shalmsford Street (1 mile east), Chartham (1 mile north-east), Garlinge Green (1 mile south-east), Chartham Hatch (2 miles north) and Petham (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Ashford (9 miles south-west), Canterbury (4 miles north-east), Dover (15 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (13 miles north-west), Folkestone (13 miles south-east) and Whitstable (7 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Whitefriars Shopping Centre (3.9 miles north-east) and Chilham Castle (1.9 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
- Nearby, you’ll find Cross Keys Public House (less than half a mile north)

How it works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Evening barbecues in Mystole need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
Ask for a quote
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.

A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
