Tonge Corner questions
What’s the nearest station to Tonge Corner?
The closest is Teynham station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Tonge Corner?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.

Why choose BBQ catering in Tonge Corner?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why Tonge Corner hosts choose us
- Planned to your running order
