Common questions in Newland Green
Which station is closest to Newland Green?
The closest is Pluckley station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Is Newland Green too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Newland Green. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

How it works
