A catered BBQ in Twydall: what to know
Twydall is about 1 mile east of Gillingham, in Medway. We cover events in Twydall, as well as the surrounding area. Twydall is one of 68 towns and villages in Medway where we cater. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 22 miles away.
If the day starts at a church like Holy Trinity Church, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. Within reach of Twydall are historic houses such as Restoration House (3.6 miles west) and Temple Manor (4.3 miles west). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Twydall, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.

Streets in the area include Pump Lane, Blean Road and Herne Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue.

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the day works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. For an evening barbecue in Twydall, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

How we price a catered barbecue
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- Numbers
- Travel to Twydall
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or ME8 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Twydall: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Riverside Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you do halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
