How our BBQ catering works in Arnos Grove
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’ll suggest a menu. We’re frequently asked to cater leaving and retirement parties and street parties, serving beef burgers, BBQ ribs and coleslaw.
In Arnos Grove, the barbecue might go in a garden, a school playground or a works yard. Let us know about the route in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Why choose BBQ catering in Arnos Grove?
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. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- Our staff serve and clear
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Six meats to choose from

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
How we price a catered barbecue
Things that change the price:
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
