BBQ catering in Barnes, served hot
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll plan around it. Popular choices include BBQ ribs, halloumi skewers and beef brisket, and we are regularly asked to cater community fun days and leaving parties.
Around Barnes, 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 send us a picture. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

How it works
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. A summer barbecue in Barnes stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests

As a London location, Barnes is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

FAQs for Barnes
Could you cook in Barn Elms?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Barnes has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How much choice do we need?
Not typically. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area. Ask if you’d like china.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are usually easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
