BBQ catering in Sellindge, served hot
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we’ll plan around it. For leaving parties and reunions and family get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of beef brisket, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers and more.
In a small place like Sellindge, 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 will handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
A catered BBQ in Sellindge: what to know
Sellindge is about 4 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. We cover events in Sellindge, along with the towns and villages around it. Sellindge is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Sellindge to Canterbury (about 13 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Sellindge are Westenhanger Castle (1.4 miles south-east). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as Sellindge Primary School, often want a barbecue. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Sellindge, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first. With the coast within about 5 miles of Sellindge, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
Events anywhere in TN25 start with an outdoor spot for the barbecue and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Downs Way, Woodlees Close and Swan Green; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. We also bring barbecues to events in Moorstock (1 mile north), Stanford (2 miles east), Postling (3 miles east), Stowting (3 miles north-east) and Skeete (3 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Ashford (6 miles north-west), Canterbury (13 miles north), Dover (13 miles east), Folkestone (7 miles east), Faversham (15 miles north) and Hythe (4 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include William Harvey Hospital (4.7 miles north-west) and Lympne Castle (2.4 miles south). Within reach you will find Tolsford Hill and Hatch Park.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book with us
- Hot food straight off the grill
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- An itemised quote

What affects the price in Sellindge
The price comes down to:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
