Ashburton barbecues: local tips
Ashburton is about 6 miles south of New Cross, in Greater London. We cover Ashburton and its neighbours for events. We cater all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Ashburton to London (8 miles away).
After a christening at a church such as Church of St Luke, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. No room at home? A club near Ashburton with a terrace or field can be a good alternative.
This part of Greater London takes in CR0, SE25 and CR9, so your event can be anywhere in it.

BBQ catering in Ashburton, served hot
For bigger events in Ashburton, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. We serve beef brisket, pulled pork and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity fundraisers and reunions and family get-togethers.
Around Ashburton, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. If there is no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and send us a photo. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

FAQs for Ashburton
Can you do a barbecue in Ashburton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Ashburton has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
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 will check.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
As a London location, Ashburton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

The process
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. In Ashburton, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Let us know about children’s numbers
