London gardens around Addington are frequently small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels.

What else we do in Addington
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. For an evening barbecue in Addington, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

Preparing for the day

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
