Common questions in New Hythe
Could you cook in Leybourne Lakes Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is New Hythe close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London.
Should we have every meat?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we’ll advise on the rest.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Let us know how many to expect.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
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.
What do you need from the venue?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, 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?.
