BBQ catering for Sevenscore
BBQ catering in Sevenscore, served hot
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. For 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and close and cul-de-sac parties, we can cook halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and BBQ ribs.
In a small place like Sevenscore, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Sevenscore questions

Is Sevenscore close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
How soon do barbecue dates go?

Can you do halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
What do children normally eat?
Generally, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Sevenscore. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer

What BBQ catering costs
The price comes down to:

- Whether you want china
- Site access

Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about

How it works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. At midsummer, it is light in Sevenscore until about 9:15pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:00pm.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Preparing for the day
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will work around it where possible.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
