Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

BBQ catering in Wrotham, cooked on site

A barbecue in the countryside near Wrotham makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Things that change the price:

A barbecue or other catering?
Instead of a takeaway delivery, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, with the smell drawing people over. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Our chef at the grill, not you

PTAs at schools such as Wrotham School frequently look for a barbecue for fairs and sports days. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Wrotham, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

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

Common questions in Wrotham
Is Wrotham too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Wrotham?
The closest is Borough Green & Wrotham station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
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’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are usually easier to get. Use our quote form.
Can you do halal?
We don’t. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there is enough.
