BBQ catering in Palmarsh, served hot
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. For evening wedding food and close and cul-de-sac parties, we can cook coleslaw, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers and more.
In a place like Palmarsh, a barbecue at home is typically the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Barbecues in Palmarsh: gardens, clubs and local tips
Palmarsh is about 2 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. Hosts in Palmarsh book us for events of all sizes. Palmarsh is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Palmarsh to Canterbury (15 miles away).
Churches such as Holy Cross rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby normally does. Thinking of a barbecue in Brockhill Country Park? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, generally the council’s. Palmarsh is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first. With the coast within about 2 miles of Palmarsh, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
Wherever your event is in CT21, we can cook on site for your guests. We can cater an event on streets such as Nickolls Road, Blackman Road and Burmarsh Road, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the barbecue. Neighbouring places where we cater events include West Hythe (1 mile north-west), Pedlinge (1 mile north), Lympne (1 mile north-west), Berwick (1 mile north-west) and Hythe (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Ashford (10 miles north-west), Canterbury (15 miles north), Dover (12 miles north-east), Folkestone (5 miles east), Tower Hamlets (12 miles north-east) and Hawkinge (6 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Hythe Museum (1.6 miles east) and Lympne Castle (1.2 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Tolsford Hill.
- Schools near Palmarsh include Brockhill Park Performing Arts College (1.5 miles north-east)
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- A green light from whoever owns the site

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Palmarsh
Is Palmarsh close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Palmarsh. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the cooking is in experienced hands. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Our chef at the grill, not you

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
The process
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. Sunset in Palmarsh is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Let us know about tight access
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
