Kingsgate is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 17 miles away.

For visitors coming by rail, Broadstairs station is about 1.6 miles away. The coast is within about 3 miles of Kingsgate, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, and seafood paella sells well by the sea.

Kingsgate: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Is Kingsgate close to London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes, always. There’s a vegan pan next to the others.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
