About our event catering in Broadstairs
Not every venue in Broadstairs has a kitchen, and with us it doesn’t need one: we cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you. So gardens, yards, fields and marquees all work. We serve hog roast rolls with crackling, spit-roast lamb and beef brisket, and typical bookings are for corporate days and care home summer events.
Venues in Broadstairs range from village-style halls and clubs to hotels and function rooms. Wherever there is room outside to cook, we can work, and we’ll check the venue is happy with an outside caterer. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
