Flame-Grilled Feasts from Trusted BBQ Caterers West Malling
Is there anything better than the scent of a barbecue drifting over a garden on a warm afternoon? That’s the moment we live for at Barbecues with Relish. Over the years we’ve fine-tuned our slow-cooked meats, our punchy marinades, and a style of hospitality that leaves guests feeling like they’ve known us for ages.
We’ve fired up the grill for garden get-togethers, weddings, office parties and village fetes right across West Malling and the surrounding villages. Every booking is different, and that’s exactly how we like it. Each menu is put together around fresh produce, careful prep, and that unmistakable smoky taste guests keep asking us back for.
So what makes us different? Probably how stubborn we are about getting the balance right. We fuss over a seasonal salad just as much as we fuss over the brisket. Slow-cooked cuts, homemade rubs, bright seasonal sides — everything has to earn its spot on the plate before it leaves the grill.
Serving West Malling Since 1983
We’ve been at this for more than forty years now, which honestly still sounds odd when we say it out loud. What began as a small local outfit has grown into one of the best-known BBQ Caterers West Malling has seen, trusted with people’s biggest occasions — weddings, work parties, milestone birthdays, all of it.
Three things really explain why folks keep booking us: dependability, professionalism, and a real passion for cooking. A cosy family lunch or a large company celebration, it doesn’t matter — we bring the same craft and creativity either way, so guests leave still chatting about the food.
We’re not the sort to drop off a few trays and disappear. Every menu is thought through, every dish is cooked fresh, and every event is packed with flavour and a bit of warmth — whether you’re feeding 30 people or a couple of thousand.
Why Our West Malling Barbecue Team Stands Out
Menus Built Around You
No two events share the same character, so we shape each menu around your tastes, your theme and any dietary requirements. It suits a summer wedding just as neatly as an office Christmas lunch.
Top-Quality Ingredients on the Grill
We're fussy about what goes on the coals — produce sourced close to home, quality cuts, and no shortcuts anywhere. It's the only way to land that freshness and flavour on the plate.
A Full, Stress-Free Service
Half measures aren't our thing. From tracking down the best local ingredients to running proper professional equipment, quality sits behind everything we do for you from start to finish.
Any Size of Event
An intimate family lunch or several hundred guests — it makes no odds to us. The same care and the same professionalism turn up every single time.
Real Local Know-How
Four decades in the trade means we genuinely get what makes an event around West Malling tick. That local understanding is what keeps things feeling personal rather than off-the-shelf.
A Name You Can Count On
We're proud to be thought of as some of the most reliable BBQ Caterers West Malling has to offer — cracking food, steady service and a friendly manner that brings people back season after season.
How We Handle Great BBQ Catering West Malling
At Barbecues with Relish, every booking begins with a genuine love of good food and good company. We build the whole experience around flavour, atmosphere and the little details plenty of caterers tend to overlook. It’s a big part of why locals keep coming back for BBQ Catering West Malling they can rely on.
From the first flames on the grill to the very last plate cleared away, our crew blends creativity with professionalism so the catering feels effortless — even if there’s plenty going on out of sight. Every dish is made with fresh ingredients and methods we’ve picked up across decades of doing this properly.
Catering Tailored to You
Every celebration deserves something personal, so we design each menu specifically around you — never off a template. Wedding, family milestone or a big corporate do, we’ll tailor it to match your style.
Full-Service Catering
Our team looks after the lot — setup, service and clear-down — so you don't have to lift a finger on the day itself.
Dry Hire Options
Would rather run things yourself? Hire our professional barbecue kit and build your own showpiece feast, no pressure at all.
Our Promise on Quality
We’re picky about ingredients and always have been. Local produce, proper preparation and real care on every plate that heads out. For us, that’s simply non-negotiable.
Bringing People Together
Barbecues with Relish is about more than the food, though of course the food matters enormously. Small garden gathering or a larger community day, we bring people together with good flavour and relaxed, easy service. Guests remember it for all the right reasons.
A Tradition of Flavour and Togetherness in West Malling
We first started out decades back as Christopher Anthony Catering, and somewhere down the line became Barbecues with Relish — now a name locals link with outdoor dining done the right way. Between our BBQ side and Relish Equipment Hire, couples, families and businesses keep coming back, mainly because we actually care about getting the details spot on.
Wedding, private celebration or corporate event — it makes no difference. Barbecues with Relish brings people together over food with real flavour and a bit of personality to it, which is exactly what good BBQ Catering West Malling should be about.
Weddings to Remember
Your wedding ought to look and taste like you, not a carbon copy of everyone else’s. At Barbecues with Relish we pull that off with food that’s properly delicious and served with warmth rather than starchy formality. Picture proper smoky cooking with a handful of modern twists, arranged into menus your guests will still be raving about later.
Every couple is different, so every menu is too. Whether you fancy a laid-back garden celebration or something a touch more refined, we’ll create a bespoke menu around your theme and any dietary needs. Locally sourced, fresh, and properly considered.
From early planning right through to the final plate, our team takes care of every part of it, leaving you free to actually enjoy your own wedding. That eye for detail is a big reason couples keep recommending us for their big day.
Private Parties with Personality
A landmark birthday, an anniversary, a family reunion — whatever you’re marking, we make it feel like an occasion. Bring us in as your BBQ Caterers West Malling and your private party catering is properly tailored, whether you want a chilled garden gathering or something louder and more lively.
Flame-grilled favourites, smoky ribs, and a few clever vegetarian dishes in the mix too. Every plate gets the same attention to freshness and presentation, and let’s be honest, we know how to get a party talking.
We take care of setup, service and clear-down, so you can genuinely unwind on the day instead of dashing about. Your guests are looked after properly, from the first plate to the last.
Corporate Catering with Style
Good food really does shift the whole mood of a work event. A team away-day, a networking evening or a company celebration — our corporate barbecue catering brings professionalism and proper flavour to the table in equal measure.
We’ll shape something flexible around your aims, be that a smart plated service or a more hands-on live BBQ station. Our chefs cook with quality ingredients and know their trade, while our event crew keeps everything ticking over quietly in the background.
