Anywhere in TN3, we can cook on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

About our BBQ catering in Printstile
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Tell us your rough numbers and we will plan the menu and service. On the menu are beef burgers, sausages and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity fundraisers and school fairs and summer fêtes.
In a small place like Printstile, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option

How it works
We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. By late September, sunset in Printstile is about 7:05pm; in December it is about 3:55pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day

Common questions in Printstile
Do you come out to small places like Printstile?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Printstile?
Leigh (Kent) station, about 1.7 miles north of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.
What do children normally eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
How much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
