What affects the price in Speldhurst
Here’s what affects the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or TN3 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
How it works
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. Autumn and winter barbecues in Speldhurst get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a DIY barbecue, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- An itemised quote
- Planned to your running order

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A clear way in from where we park
- A spot well clear of buildings
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
