BBQ catering for West Hythe
BBQ catering in West Hythe, served hot
Hosting a barbecue typically means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. We serve pulled pork, chicken skewers and beef burgers, and we are regularly asked to cater fundraising days and birthdays and milestone parties.
In a small place like West Hythe, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

Pulled pork
Pulled pork is slow-cooked until it falls apart, piled into rolls, frequently with coleslaw.

West Hythe: your questions answered
How far is West Hythe from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to West Hythe?
The closest is Westenhanger station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in West Hythe. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
How we price a catered barbecue
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- A clear quote with everything listed
- A full barbecue menu
- Served at the time you choose
