A barbecue near Wouldham
The process
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. In Wouldham, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Let us know about tight access

Wouldham: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Wouldham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Holborough Marshes?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Do you come to Wouldham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Wouldham and the rest of Medway included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: use our quote form.
How many meats should we choose?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we will advise on the rest.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Parking near the grill
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
