Questions from Sandwich
How far is Sandwich from London?
About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Ham Fen?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll check anything else with you.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.

What affects the price in Sandwich
The price comes down to:
- Travel to Sandwich
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
Running late? Let us know, and we’ll work around it where possible.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
A closer look at the menu
Beef burgers
No barbecue is complete without burgers, and they’re a safe bet for children and adults alike.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Coleslaw is the natural partner for pulled pork, while salads keep it light.
