Pett Bottom questions
Is Pett Bottom too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue 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.
Can you do halal?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
What do children normally eat?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
How many meats should we choose?
Not typically. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we’ll advise on the rest.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Fill in our quote form.
