About our BBQ catering in Old Romney
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a photo of the space and we will confirm it. We serve chicken skewers, halloumi skewers and BBQ ribs, and typical bookings are for club open days and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays.
In a small place like Old Romney, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
How the day works
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Autumn and winter barbecues in Old Romney get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Old Romney?
The closest is Appledore (Kent) station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
What do children generally eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Plan shelter for your guests.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
