About our BBQ catering in Aldwych
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Aldwych: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. Whether it is summer parties in the garden and team days and staff summer parties, we will put together a menu of pulled pork, sausages and beef burgers.
Gardens in Aldwych tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Questions from Aldwych
Can you do a barbecue in Lincoln's Inn Fields?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Aldwych has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Use our quote form.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Aldwych. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Take a look at our pricing and our barbecue menu ideas.
The menu, dish by dish
Beef brisket
Sliced brisket adds a grown-up touch.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
What happens on the day
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. At midsummer, it’s light in Aldwych until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Think about shelter for your guests
