How our BBQ catering works in Sevenoaks
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Sevenoaks, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We serve sausages, beef brisket and beef burgers, and we are often booked for school fairs and summer fêtes and club open days.
In a town like Sevenoaks, a garden barbecue is a summer favourite, and a club or hall with outdoor space works if the garden is small. We need a level spot away from the house. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

Common questions in Sevenoaks
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Montreal Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How many meats should we choose?
Not generally. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
What do children generally eat?
Burgers and sausages are normally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Do you cover Sevenoaks?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Sevenoaks and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.

How the day works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves for as long as we’ve agreed. In Sevenoaks, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Give us a contact number for the day
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.

For event organisers in Sevenoaks
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- A spot well clear of buildings
