Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Why choose BBQ catering in Richborough Port?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book with us
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Timed around your day
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
