Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

BBQ catering for your event in Westmarsh
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we will plan around it. Typical bookings include summer parties in the garden and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, with beef brisket, beef burgers and pulled pork.
Country barbecues near Westmarsh are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Questions from Westmarsh
Is Westmarsh too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Westmarsh?
Minster station, about 2.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Is the food cooked safely?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Can you cater in Westmarsh?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Westmarsh and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Plan shelter for your guests.

We don’t. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with ordering takeaway, a barbecue becomes part of the event, and the grill becomes a gathering point. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Served at the time you choose

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or CT3 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us about children’s numbers
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
For event organisers in Westmarsh
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
