BBQ catering for your event in Stone Hill
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Typical bookings include 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and Fêtes, fairs and sports days, serving pulled pork, BBQ ribs and sausages.
In a small place like Stone Hill, 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. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Your questions about a catered barbecue in Stone Hill
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Stone Hill?
Westenhanger station, about 2.4 miles south-east of the centre.
When should we book BBQ catering?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are normally easier to get. Use our quote form.
How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Stone Hill. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What comes off the grill
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, so they keep the queue moving.
Where the barbecue can go in Stone Hill
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:

A catered BBQ in Stone Hill: what to know
Stone Hill is about 5 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Stone Hill is well within our area for events and the places nearby. 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 12 miles away.
If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Westenhanger station, about 2.4 miles south-east. Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as Sellindge Primary School, frequently want a barbecue. Stone Hill is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, 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 6 miles of Stone Hill, wind is the thing to plan for: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.

A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

- Distance from us
- Whether you want china

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

How it 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 have agreed.

- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
