BBQ catering in Trottiscliffe, cooked on site
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. Pick the meats that suit your guests. We are often asked to cater community fun days and big birthday parties, with beef burgers, sausages and beef brisket.
In a small place like Trottiscliffe, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, so the barbecue is ready when you are. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For an evening barbecue in Trottiscliffe, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- Site access
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.

Where the barbecue can go in Trottiscliffe
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests

FAQs for Trottiscliffe
Which station is closest to Trottiscliffe?
The closest is Borough Green & Wrotham station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
