About our BBQ catering in Stuppington
There’s something about a barbecue that gets people talking: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. We will find the right spot at your venue in Stuppington. For retirement do’s and big birthday parties, we can cook beef brisket, chicken skewers and halloumi skewers.
Near Stuppington, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees

What affects the price in Stuppington
Each price is built from:
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week

What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
Running late? Let us know, and we will work around it where possible.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Stuppington
Could you cook in Whitehall Meadows?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Stuppington?
Canterbury East station, about 1 mile north of the centre.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you do halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
What do children normally eat?
Burgers and sausages are usually the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
How it works
