BBQ catering for your event in Seaton
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We are often asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and reunions and family get-togethers, with coleslaw, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers.
Country barbecues near Seaton are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot

FAQs for Seaton
Which station is closest to Seaton?
Bekesbourne station, about 2.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Seaton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
How much choice do we need?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we will advise on the rest.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What affects the price in Seaton
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:

- Crockery choices
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
