What happens on the day
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. At midsummer, it is light in Aperfield until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.

BBQ catering for your event in Aperfield
In Aperfield, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: 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. Popular choices include pulled pork, BBQ ribs and beef brisket, and typical bookings are for fundraising barbecues and summer parties in the garden.
Around Aperfield, 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 picture helps us check. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Aperfield: your questions answered
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Aperfield?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater in Aperfield?
Yes, Aperfield is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Working with your venue
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’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
As a London location, Aperfield is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
