Planning an event in Sutton?
For event organisers in Sutton
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
How our BBQ catering works in Sutton
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Sutton, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We serve chicken skewers, coleslaw and BBQ ribs, and we are regularly asked to cater fundraising days and engagement and anniversary parties.
A barbecue in the countryside near Sutton makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
How we price a catered barbecue
Things that change the price:
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, the address or CT15 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Sutton barbecues: local tips
Sutton is about 3 miles south-west of Deal, in Kent. Events in Sutton are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our bookings stretch from Sutton to Canterbury (13 miles away).
Within reach of Sutton are historic houses such as Walmer Castle (2.6 miles east). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. After a christening at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. With the coast within about 4 miles of Sutton, wind is the thing to plan for: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
Wherever your event is in CT15, we can bring the barbecue to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your event could be at a house on Vale Road and Church Hill or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the barbecue. For events just outside Sutton, we cover East Studdal (1 mile west), Martin (1 mile south), Studdal (1 mile west), Ringwould (2 miles south-east) and West Langdon (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (13 miles north-west), Margate (13 miles north), Dover (4 miles south-west), Folkestone (11 miles south-west), Ramsgate (10 miles north) and Broadstairs (12 miles north).
A little further out are Royal Victoria Hospital (4.9 miles south) and Kent Museum of the Moving Image (3.2 miles north-east).
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs

The menu, dish by dish
Beef brisket
Slow-cooked beef brisket, sliced to serve, rich and tender.
Beef burgers
A burger is the barbecue classic, loved by most ages.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. At midsummer, it’s light in Sutton until about 9:15pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
