Questions from Pegwell
Could you cook in Sandwich and Pegwell Bay?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What do children normally eat?
Generally, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we’ll advise on the rest.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Pegwell. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.

What affects the price in Pegwell
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or CT11 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so there is no need to borrow a grill.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A barbecue or other catering?
Instead of a takeaway delivery, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, with the smell drawing people over. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

The process
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. By late September, sunset in Pegwell is about 7:00pm; in December it’s about 3:50pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
