BBQ catering in Newchurch, cooked on site
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We serve beef burgers, pulled pork and sausages, and we’re often booked for team days and staff summer parties and evening wedding food.
A barbecue in the countryside near Newchurch makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Newchurch is about 7 miles west of Hythe, in Kent. We are happy to travel to Newchurch for events and the places nearby. Newchurch is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 18 miles away.
After a christening at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.
For events in TN29, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and a serving time. Streets in the area include Links Close, Church View and Patchways, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. We also bring barbecues to events in St Mary in the Marsh (2 miles south), Postling Green (3 miles north-east), Bonnington (3 miles north), Burmarsh (3 miles east) and St Mary's Bay (3 miles south-east).

Newchurch: your questions answered
Is Newchurch close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Newchurch?
The closest is Ham Street station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How we price a catered barbecue
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- Plates or china
- Travel to Newchurch
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or TN29 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. 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, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us

Space, access and the venue
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A spot well clear of buildings
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

- Pulled pork
- Beef brisket

What happens on the day
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. For an evening barbecue in Newchurch, think about light: 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.

- We clear up so you don’t have to.

Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
We cook as your guests come up, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
- Grilled at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Six barbecue meats to choose from
- Meat-free choices cooked separately
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
