FAQs for Wilmington
Can you do a barbecue in Dartford Heath?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Wilmington?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
How do you handle food safety?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you are 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.
The process
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it is flexible. Autumn and winter barbecues in Wilmington get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

What BBQ catering costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
