BBQ catering in Tilmanstone
BBQ catering in Tilmanstone, served hot
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. On the menu are BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef burgers, and we are regularly asked to cater evening wedding food and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a small place like Tilmanstone, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Running late? Let us know, and we will adjust where we can.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a row of street-food vans, a single barbecue feeds your group together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Tilmanstone
What’s the nearest station to Tilmanstone?
Shepherds Well station, about 3.3 miles south-west of the centre.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
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.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
What comes off the grill
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Sausages
Sausages go down well with younger guests, and they’re easy to eat standing up.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel to Tilmanstone
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
How it works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. In Tilmanstone, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening barbecue is generally in daylight.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
