How our BBQ catering works in Wootton
In Wootton, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. We’re frequently asked to cater cricket, football and rugby club days and neighbourhood parties, serving sausages, beef burgers and BBQ ribs.
A barbecue in the countryside near Wootton makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Common questions in Wootton
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Wootton?
The closest is Shepherds Well station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Why choose BBQ catering in Wootton?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
