- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
The menu makes a big difference to the price: 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.

A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Timed around your day
- Our staff serve and clear

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.

Common questions in Blackfen
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Blackfen?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a barbecue in Shoulder of Mutton Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to Blackfen?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Blackfen and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Do you need anything from us?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
