BBQ catering in Nonington, cooked on site
With BBQ catering, the barbecue, the food and the cooking are all on us. We cook on site at your event in Nonington, outdoors under cover, and our staff serve and clear. For informal weddings and cricket, football and rugby club days, we will put together a menu of BBQ ribs, coleslaw and beef brisket and more.
In a small place like Nonington, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
When we arrive, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. Evening barbecues in Nonington need a little planning: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Questions from Nonington
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Is Nonington close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Nonington. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll check anything else with you.

Do you cover Nonington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Nonington and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
