Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Next to 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?.

Why book with us
- No surprises: everything in writing

- Sides to make it a full meal
- Planned to your running order

Newington: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Newington?
Newington has its own station: Newington station.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
How much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you need anything from us?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up. China is available on request.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Let us know how many to expect.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
