Common questions in Tyler Hill
Is Tyler Hill too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Tyler Hill?
The closest is Canterbury West station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
How much choice do we need?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we’ll advise on the rest.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
BBQ catering in Tyler Hill, served hot
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. For retirement do’s and team days and staff summer parties, we can cook beef burgers, sausages and BBQ ribs and more.
Near Tyler Hill, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

What BBQ catering costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Parking near the grill
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
