FAQs for Queen Street
Can you do a barbecue in Foal Hurst Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Queen Street?
The closest is Paddock Wood station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you do halal?
We do not. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.

Prices and what affects them

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Autumn and winter barbecues in Queen Street get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
