Your questions about a catered barbecue in Warden
Is Warden too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Warden from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do halal?
We don’t. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Warden. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
About our BBQ catering in Warden
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We serve BBQ ribs, halloumi skewers and beef brisket, and we’re frequently booked for close and cul-de-sac parties and garden parties.
Near Warden, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
What comes off the grill
Beef brisket
Brisket makes a barbecue feel like a proper meal, especially at a wedding or work event.
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu; have napkins ready.
How we price a catered barbecue
Your quote depends on:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- Whether you want china
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is

Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Parking near the grill
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

A catered BBQ in Warden: what to know
Warden is about 4 miles east of Minster, in Kent. Events in Warden are part of our patch. Warden is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Warden to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
For events in ME12, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook. Local streets include Melody Close, Imperial Drive and Waterside View; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. For events just outside Warden, we cover Bay View (1 mile south-west), Mud Row (1 mile west), Leysdown-on-Sea (1 mile south-east), Eastchurch (2 miles west) and Minster (4 miles west). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (12 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (9 miles south-west), Whitstable (7 miles south-east), Faversham (6 miles south), Herne Bay (10 miles east) and Davington (6 miles south).
What happens on the day
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. Autumn and winter barbecues in Warden get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Request gluten-free rolls
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Organising for someone else?

If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Instead of a takeaway delivery, a barbecue becomes part of the event, and the grill becomes a gathering point. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
