Barbecues in Silver Street: gardens, clubs and local tips
Silver Street is about 3 miles south-west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We’re happy to travel to Silver Street for events. We bring barbecues to all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 17 miles away.
For a fundraiser at a school like Bredgar Church of England Primary School, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school. A green space like Cromers Wood is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. Silver Street is within about 4 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
For events in ME9, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and a serving time. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Bredgar (1 mile east), Oad Street (1 mile north-west), South Green (2 miles west), Danaway (2 miles north-west) and Chestnut Street (2 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Maidstone (8 miles south-west), Ashford (14 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (3 miles north-east), Whitstable (15 miles east), Faversham (8 miles east) and Minster (9 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (2.9 miles north-east) and Bayford Court (3.1 miles north-east). Within reach you will find Detling Hill.
- Local schools include Westlands School (2.3 miles north)
BBQ catering in Silver Street, served hot
Some hosts in Silver Street pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. We can quote for either or both. Typical bookings include informal weddings and garden parties, serving coleslaw, halloumi skewers and BBQ ribs.
In a small place like Silver Street, 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. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

Will guests know what’s in each dish?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.

Step by step
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving for as long as we’ve agreed. At midsummer, it is light in Silver Street until about 9:15pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:00pm.
