Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten

- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
We cook as your guests come up, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
About our BBQ catering in Pollhill
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will plan around it. We’re often asked to cater summer parties in the garden and family celebrations, serving chicken skewers, coleslaw and beef brisket.
In a small place like Pollhill, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.

Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
How many meats should we choose?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we’ll advise on the rest.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Pollhill barbecues: local tips
Pollhill is about 6 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. We cover events in Pollhill, as well as the surrounding area. Pollhill is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Pollhill to Canterbury (18 miles away).
Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as Harrietsham Church of England Primary School, frequently want a barbecue. Nearby historic houses include Leeds Castle (1.6 miles north-west) and Stoneacre (3.8 miles west). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Pollhill, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
We cover events in every part of the ME17 postcode area. Streets in the area include Horwood Way, Shrubwood Close and Parkfield Close, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue.
