About our BBQ catering in Street End
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will work to it. Popular choices include chicken skewers, beef brisket and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for leaving and retirement parties and back-garden get-togethers.
Country barbecues near Street End are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
How we price a catered barbecue
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A clear way in from where we park
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What’s the nearest station to Street End?
Canterbury East station, about 2.1 miles north of the centre.
What do you need from the venue?

Do you cater for vegetarians?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Cooked on site by our chef

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.

- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
