A barbecue near Northfleet
BBQ catering for your event in Northfleet
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Give us your serving time and we will work to it. We are often asked to cater garden parties and fundraising days, serving beef burgers, halloumi skewers and BBQ ribs.
Birthdays, staff days and club events in Northfleet all suit a catered barbecue. The common need is a spot outside for the grill. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with ordering takeaway, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, with the smell drawing people over. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Meat-free choices on every menu

Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What BBQ catering costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- Plates or china
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
The process
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. In Northfleet, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- 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 clear up so you don’t have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Include children in your numbers
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
