Common questions in North Halling
Could you cook in Nashenden Down?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is North Halling too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Burgers and sausages are normally the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
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.
Do you cover North Halling?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, North Halling and the rest of Medway included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you offer halal meat?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
What affects the price in North Halling
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- The number of people
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.

How it works
On the day, 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. In North Halling, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Getting ready for the day
