A catered BBQ in Anerley: what to know
Anerley is about 2 miles north-east of Thornton Heath, in Greater London. We are happy to travel to Anerley for events. Anerley is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Anerley to London (6 miles away).
If you had Crystal Palace Dinosaurs in mind, ask the council or landowner first: barbecues are often restricted in parks. If the day starts at a church like St Paul's, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by.
This part of Greater London takes in SE20, SE19 and SE26. From Maple Road, Padua Road and Genoa Road or anywhere nearby, we will bring the barbecue to you. Nearby, we also cater events in Penge (1 mile east), Crystal Palace (1 mile north), Sydenham (1 mile north-east), Gipsy Hill (1 mile north-west) and Upper Norwood (1 mile west). Further out, we also cater in London (6 miles north), City of Westminster (8 miles north-west), Marylebone (8 miles north-west), Kensington (8 miles north-west), St Pancras (8 miles north) and Shoreditch (8 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find St Christopher's Hospice (0.7 miles north-east) and Addiscombe (2.4 miles south). Open spaces near Anerley include Dulwich Upper Wood and Knight's Hill.
- Schools near Anerley include Harris City Academy Crystal Palace (0.5 miles south-west) and Crystal Palace School (0.6 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find Anerley Arms (under half a mile south)
How our BBQ catering works in Anerley
For bigger events in Anerley, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. We can quote for either or both. For back-garden get-togethers and summer staff days, we’ll put together a menu of sausages, beef burgers and beef brisket and more.
Around Anerley, 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 staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Anerley: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Anerley?
Anerley has its own station: Anerley station.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Anerley?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you label the food for allergies?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What happens on the day
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. Evening barbecues in Anerley need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Before we arrive
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Include children in your numbers
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue

For event organisers in Anerley
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Why choose BBQ catering in Anerley?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Add a hog roast alongside

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect

- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Beef brisket
Beef brisket is slow-cooked and sliced, for a more substantial plate.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Parking near the grill
Anerley 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
