About our BBQ catering in Oare
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. For cricket, football and rugby club days and back-garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of chicken skewers, beef brisket and BBQ ribs for your guests.
Country barbecues near Oare are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
A catered BBQ in Oare: what to know
Oare is about 1 mile north of Faversham, in Kent. Oare and the surrounding area are covered for events. Oare is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 9 miles away.
Churches such as Church of St Peter rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby generally does. Among the historic houses close to Oare are Belmont House and Gardens (4.3 miles south). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one.
We cater events across the ME13 postcode area and the streets around it. From The Street, Church Road and Russell Place or a nearby road, we can set up and cook there. We also bring barbecues to events in Davington (1 mile south), The Brents (1 mile south-east), Uplees (1 mile north-west), Faversham (1 mile south) and Four Oaks (1 mile south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Ashford (13 miles south), Canterbury (9 miles east), Sittingbourne (6 miles west), Whitstable (7 miles east), Herne Bay (11 miles east) and Minster (7 miles north-west).
A little further out are Newnham Castle (4.5 miles south-west).
- Nearby schools include Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School (1.2 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find Three Mariners Inn (less than half a mile south)
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
Running late? Let us know, and we will adjust where we can.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
What BBQ catering costs
Things that change the price:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Choose from salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Six meats to choose from
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like

What happens on the day
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. For an evening barbecue in Oare, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
