About our BBQ catering in Acton
For bigger events in Acton, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Popular choices include BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and pulled pork, and typical bookings are for summer parties in the garden and sports clubs and team events.
In a London neighbourhood like Acton, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and a photo helps us check. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book our barbecue in Acton
