A barbecue near Westwood
BBQ catering for your event in Westwood
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will plan around it. We are often asked to cater summer staff days and informal weddings, serving chicken skewers, beef burgers and sausages.
A barbecue in the countryside near Westwood makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Barbecues in Westwood: gardens, clubs and local tips
Westwood is about 3 miles south of Swanscombe, in Kent. Westwood and the surrounding area are covered for events. We bring barbecues to all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Westwood to London (18 miles away).
If you had Longfield Chalk Bank in mind, ask the council or landowner first: barbecues are often restricted in parks. If the day starts at a church like Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Westwood, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.
For events in DA13 and DA2, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and roughly how many guests. From Westwood Road and Highcross Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the barbecue to you. If your venue is just outside Westwood, we also cover Grubb Street (1 mile south-west), Green Street Green (1 mile west), Bean (1 mile north-west), St Margarets (2 miles west) and Darenth (2 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Maidstone (14 miles south-east), Dartford (4 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (10 miles south-west), Gravesend (4 miles east), Tonbridge (15 miles south) and Northfleet (3 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Stone Museum of Geology (3.3 miles north-west) and Bluewater (2.3 miles north-west). The countryside around Westwood includes Sawyers Lake.

What comes off the grill
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Sausages
Sausages are a barbecue favourite, served in a roll or with sides.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
When you contact us, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. 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.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Planned to your running order

Questions from Westwood
Do you come out to small places like Westwood?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Do you need anything from us?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
Will children like the BBQ?
Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer barbecue in Westwood stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
