Flame-Grilled Feasts by Trusted BBQ Caterers in Kings Hill
Honestly, there’s nothing quite like the smell of a barbecue drifting across a garden on a summer afternoon. At Barbecues with Relish, that’s the feeling we chase with every event we cook for. We’ve spent years perfecting slow-cooked meats, bold marinades, and the kind of hospitality that makes guests feel like old friends.
We’ve cooked for garden parties, weddings, work do’s, and community fetes all over Kings Hill and the villages nearby. No two events look the same, and honestly, that’s how we like it. Every menu gets built around fresh ingredients, proper preparation, and that unmistakable smoky flavour people keep coming back for.
What really sets us apart? Probably our stubbornness about balance. We’re just as fussy about a side salad as we are about the brisket. Slow-cooked meats, homemade marinades, colourful seasonal sides — it all has to earn its place on the plate before it goes out.
Cooking for Kings Hill Since 1983
We’ve been doing this for well over four decades now, which still feels strange to say out loud. Barbecues with Relish grew from a small local operation into a name people trust with their biggest days: weddings, work parties, birthdays, the lot.
Our success really comes down to three things: reliability, professionalism, and a genuine love of good food. Whether it’s a small family gathering or a sizeable corporate bash, we bring the same skill and imagination to the table, so your guests walk away talking about it.
We’re not just here to plate up food and leave. Every menu gets carefully planned, every dish freshly made, and every event filled with flavour and warmth — whether you’re hosting 30 guests or 2,000.
What Makes Our Kings Hill Barbecue Team Stand Out
Menus Made Just for You
Every event has its own personality, so our menus are shaped around your tastes, your theme, and any dietary needs. Works just as well for a wedding as it does for an office Christmas do.
The Best Ingredients on the Grill
We're picky about ingredients — locally sourced produce, prime cuts of meat, no cutting corners. It's the only way to get that flavour and freshness onto the plate.
A Complete, Hassle-Free Service
We don't do half-measures. From sourcing the best local ingredients to running proper professional kit, quality runs through everything we do for you, start to finish.
Events of Every Size
Small family get-together or a few hundred guests, it makes no difference to us. Same care, same professionalism, every single time.
Local Knowledge and Experience
Over 40 years in this trade means we understand what makes an event around Kings Hill actually work. That local insight is what makes things feel personal instead of generic.
A Reputation You Can Rely On
We're proud to be known as one of the most trusted BBQ caterers in Kings Hill — great food, dependable service, and a friendly approach that keeps people coming back year after year.
Our Approach to Great BBQ Catering in Kings Hill

From the first spark on the grill to the last plate cleared, our team mixes creativity with professionalism to make catering feel effortless — even though, behind the scenes, there’s a lot going on. Every dish gets made with fresh ingredients and techniques we’ve picked up over decades of doing this.
Tailored Catering, Built Around You
Every celebration deserves a personal touch, so we build each menu around you specifically — not a template. Wedding, family celebration, big corporate do, doesn’t matter: we’ll shape things to fit your style.
Full-Service Catering

Dry Hire Options

Our Commitment to Quality
We’re picky about ingredients — always have been. Local produce, proper prep, real attention on every plate that goes out. That’s non-negotiable for us.

Barbecues with Relish isn’t just about the food, though obviously that matters a lot. Whether it’s a small garden do or a bigger community event, we bring people together through good flavour and relaxed, easy-going service. People remember it for the right reasons.
A Tradition of Taste and Togetherness in Kings Hill
We started out decades ago as Christopher Anthony Catering, and somewhere along the way became Barbecues with Relish — now a name people around here associate with outdoor dining done properly. These days, between our BBQ arm and Relish Equipment Hire, families, couples and businesses keep choosing us, mostly because we actually care about getting it right.
Wedding, private do, corporate event — doesn’t matter. Barbecues with Relish brings people together with food that’s got real flavour and a bit of character to it.
Weddings to Remember
Your wedding should look and taste like you, not like everyone else’s. At Barbecues with Relish, we make that happen through food that’s genuinely delicious and served with warmth, not stiff formality. Think proper smoky cooking mixed with a few modern touches, built around menus your guests will actually talk about afterwards.
Every couple’s different, so every menu is too. Fancy a relaxed garden celebration or something a bit more polished, we’ll build a bespoke menu around your theme and any dietary needs. Locally sourced, fresh, properly thought through.
From the planning stage right through to the final plate, our team handles every bit of it, so you’re free to actually enjoy your own wedding. That attention to detail is a big part of why couples keep recommending us for their big day.
Private Parties with Personality
Big birthday, an anniversary, a family reunion, whatever the occasion — we make it feel special. Private party catering here is properly tailored, whether you’re after a relaxed garden gathering or something louder and livelier.
Flame-grilled classics, smoky ribs, a few inventive vegetarian options thrown in too. Every dish gets the same attention to freshness and presentation, and honestly, we know how to get people talking at a party.
We handle setup, service and clear-down, so you can actually relax on the day instead of running around. Your guests get properly looked after, start to finish.
Corporate Catering with Style
Good food genuinely changes the tone of a work event. Team meeting, networking do, or a company celebration — our corporate barbecue catering brings a bit of professionalism and proper flavour to the table, in equal measure.
We’ll build something flexible around your goals, whether that’s elegant plated service or a more interactive live BBQ station. Our chefs use quality ingredients and know what they’re doing, while our event team keeps everything running smoothly in the background.

Grace, Chris and the whole Relish staff were fabulous caterers for our wedding at Charlton House. They worked with us so constructively to plan out all the special details we wanted to incorporate, including adding Romanian food specialities in, that went down particularly well with our Romanian guests! They also adapted seamlessly when the wet weather arrived, ensuring that the day all went according to plan. The set-up and presentation of the tables was fantastic and all the food was superb, from canapes to the main meal and then the evening snacks.Posted on Google![]()

We wanted to thank Grace and all the team at Relish for all their help in organising a special 75th Birthday BBQ which was held in our garden. Everything was great from day one , the organising…the delivery of equipment and gazebo to the collection of the same. The BBQ food was delicious and everyone commented on how good it tasted and there was more than sufficient provided. We have used Relish previously and are never disappointed. We look forward to working with them again.Posted on Google![]()

Excellent food, and service. The team arrived as scheduled and were very friendly and helpful. We, and our guests, thought the food was outstandingly good and would certainly use their service again if the occasion were to arise. Tables and chairs etc were collected on the Monday morning, again with no problems. Thank you Relish once again.Posted on Google![]()

I recently booked the great hall at hall place to celebrate my wife’s eightieth birthday where the resident caterers are Relish, it doesn’t matter how good the venue is without good food and service a celebration may not turn out as good as you hoped. No need to worry with Relish every aspect of their service was first class, food, service, courtesy attention to detail all excellent, would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else Ron HarperPosted on Google![]()

Relish catered our wedding at Court Lodge, Kent, in September 2023. They did a fabulous job both in the run up and on the day. The food was delicious - we had a variety of canapés, BBQ main and then Relish served pizza in the evening. Many of our guests commented on how welcoming and accommodating the serving team were. Thank you Grace, Chris and all of the Relish team, for being a part of our special day.Posted on Google![]()

Our expectations were definitely exceeded. So many positive comments from our High Street Awards. Chris and Grace were professional from start to finish and a real pleasure to work with. The quality of the food and the service was outstanding. 186 guests served with a three course meal all served on time, hot and with outstanding presentation. We will definitely be using again. Thank you for helping to make our event happen Caron - Bexleyheath BID
