What else we do in Addiscombe
How it works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. A summer barbecue in Addiscombe stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us

What BBQ catering costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
Addiscombe is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
