BBQ catering in Bayswater, cooked on site
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Popular choices include coleslaw, chicken skewers and BBQ ribs, and typical bookings are for cricket, football and rugby club days and leaving and retirement parties.
Gardens in Bayswater tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Bayswater: your questions answered
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Bayswater?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What’s the nearest station to Bayswater?
London Paddington station, about 0.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
How it works
We get there well ahead of food time, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. At midsummer, it’s light in Bayswater until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.

How we price a catered barbecue
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Parking near the grill
- Permission from the venue or landowner
Bayswater 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why choose BBQ catering in Bayswater?
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 for bigger events, why not both?. 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.
Why book our barbecue in Bayswater
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Hot food straight off the grill
