BBQ catering in Bexley Riverside, served hot
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Bexley Riverside: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. We’re often asked to cater fundraising days and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, with beef burgers, beef brisket and halloumi skewers.
Gardens in Bexley Riverside tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels.

Bexley Riverside questions
Which station is closest to Bexley Riverside?
Barnehurst station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.
What if our house in Bexley Riverside has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you label the food for allergies?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Fill in our quote form.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.

Your quote depends on:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. At midsummer, it is light in Bexley Riverside until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A clear way in from where we park
- Permission from the venue or landowner
Bexley Riverside is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
