BBQ catering in Bankside, cooked on site

Around Bankside, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks.

Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.

How we price a catered barbecue
We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a buffet, everything is hot and freshly cooked, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
