Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
The process
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you. Evening barbecues in Teston need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

Common questions in Teston
Can you do a barbecue in Quarry Wood?

What’s the nearest station to Teston?
The closest is Wateringbury station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.

When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
What do children typically eat?
Usually, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
What meats do you barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
