Event catering across Medway
We always include meat-free choices: halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and barbecue chicken cover guests who do not eat pork. Popular choices include beef brisket, salads and pulled pork, and we’re often booked for staff days and client events and residents’ days.

Caterers across Medway: what to know
Caterers in Medway get asked for everything from weddings to wakes. Our answer is hot food cooked on site: a hog roast, a barbecue or both.
Gillingham: Parks such as Ambley Wood normally need council permission for caterers, so check first. Schools such as Featherby Junior School often need caterers for summer fairs and sports days. For an evening event in Gillingham, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
How we compare with other caterers

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
With a hog roast we start early; with a barbecue we cook as people eat. We plan our timings from when you want to eat.
