How our BBQ catering works in Woodside Green
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. Popular choices include coleslaw, beef brisket and beef burgers, and we’re often booked for retirement do’s and reunions and family get-togethers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Woodside Green makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
The process
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it is flexible. Evening barbecues in Woodside Green need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Questions from Woodside Green
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Woodside Green?
The closest is Lenham station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
How many meats should we choose?
You do not need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we’ll advise on the rest.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
What comes off the grill
Beef brisket
Slow-cooked beef brisket, sliced to serve, for a more substantial plate.
Sausages
Grilled until golden and cooked right through, they’re the easy crowd-pleaser.
