About our BBQ catering in Belvedere
Barbecue food is sociable food: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. In Belvedere, we will set up where it suits your event. For community fun days and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, we can cook chicken skewers, sausages and coleslaw for your guests.
Around Belvedere, 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 a picture helps us check. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

- Travel to Belvedere
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- Numbers
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Belvedere
Which station is closest to Belvedere?
The closest is Belvedere station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you do a barbecue in Lesnes Abbey Woods?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are generally easier to get. Use our quote form.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Is the food cooked safely?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Belvedere barbecues: local tips
Belvedere is about 3 miles east of Plumstead, in Greater London. Hosts in Belvedere book us for events of all sizes. We cover 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 11 miles away.
If your garden is too small, a club or hall near Belvedere with outdoor space frequently works. Nearby historic houses include Red House (2.3 miles south-west) and Danson House (2.5 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early.
Anywhere in DA17, DA8 and DA18, we can cook on site for your guests. Local streets include Cray Road, Adit Road and Clive Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades

What else we do in Belvedere
Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in from where we park
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
As a London location, Belvedere is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
