About our BBQ catering in Ardleigh Green
For bigger events in Ardleigh Green, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we will quote for both. We are often asked to cater club open days and community fun days, serving beef burgers, sausages and beef brisket.
In Ardleigh Green, the barbecue might go in a garden, a school playground or a works yard. Tell us how we get the equipment in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

How the day works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. In Ardleigh Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive

- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
Ardleigh Green 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.

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.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Ardleigh Green
Could you cook in Haynes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Ardleigh Green?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you need anything from us?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
