How our BBQ catering works in Aldgate
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Give us an idea of numbers and we will suggest a menu. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, BBQ ribs and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for school fairs and summer fêtes and team days and staff summer parties.
Around Aldgate, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us about a rear gate, a front garden or a yard, and a photo helps us check. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

How we price a catered barbecue
Here’s what affects the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
FAQs for Aldgate
Which station is closest to Aldgate?
London Fenchurch Street station, in Aldgate itself.
Could you cook in Finsbury Circus?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: use our quote form.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Usually, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
What does the venue need to provide?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
For event organisers in Aldgate
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
What the cooking area needs
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
Aldgate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How it works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. For an evening barbecue in Aldgate, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
