About our BBQ catering in Postling Green
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Give us an idea of numbers and we will suggest a menu. For work barbecues and club open days, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, sausages and beef brisket and more.
In a small place like Postling Green, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Postling Green questions
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Postling Green?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Can you do halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Plan shelter for your guests.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
How much choice do we need?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
How it 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 Postling Green get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
