Bellingham barbecues: local tips
Bellingham is about 2 miles north of Beckenham, in Greater London. Hosts in Bellingham book us for events of all sizes. Bellingham is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Bellingham to London (6 miles away).
Historic houses near Bellingham include Kingswood House (2.5 miles west) and Bromley Palace (2.8 miles south-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early. A green space like Forster Memorial Park is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so.
We cater events across the SE6, SE26 and SE23 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Oslac Road, Orford Road and Aitken Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Being close to the A2218, Bellingham is easy for us to reach with the barbecue. Close by, we cover events in Southend (1 mile north), Bell Green (1 mile west), Catford (1 mile north-east), Perry Vale (1 mile west) and Sydenham (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include London (6 miles north-west), City of Westminster (8 miles north-west), Marylebone (8 miles north-west), Kensington (9 miles north-west), St Pancras (8 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (7 miles north).

BBQ catering in Bellingham, cooked on site
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll work to it. Popular choices include chicken skewers, beef burgers and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for leaving and retirement parties and summer staff days.
Gardens in Bellingham tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Step by step
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. Evening barbecues in Bellingham need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

FAQs for Bellingham
Could you cook in Forster Memorial Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Bellingham?
Bellingham has its own station: Bellingham station.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you cover Bellingham?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
When should we book BBQ catering?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
How we price a catered barbecue
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
Send us the date, the address or SE6 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask which items contain gluten
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. 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 you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Take a look at how we price or menu ideas for your barbecue.
Where the barbecue can go in Bellingham
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
Bellingham 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.
