Common questions in Westwood
What’s the nearest station to Westwood?
Margate station, about 1.4 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Westwood?
Yes. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
How do you handle food safety?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We’ll check anything else with you.
BBQ catering in Westwood, cooked on site
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Westwood, outdoors under cover, and our staff serve and clear. Popular choices include pulled pork, chicken skewers and BBQ ribs, and we are regularly asked to cater big birthday parties and evening wedding food.
For a barbecue in Westwood, the garden is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
How the day works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves for as long as we’ve agreed. At midsummer, it is light in Westwood until about 9:15pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
BBQ ribs
Ribs make a barbecue feel like a feast, alongside the other meats.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
