BBQ catering for Blackheath
About our BBQ catering in Blackheath
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Tell us about the space in Blackheath and we will check it works. We serve halloumi skewers, sausages and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for cricket, football and rugby club days and family celebrations.
London gardens around Blackheath are frequently small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

The process
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. Autumn and winter barbecues in Blackheath get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Parking near the grill
Blackheath 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Blackheath
Which station is closest to Blackheath?
Blackheath has its own station: Blackheath station.
Could you cook in Manor House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Is the food cooked safely?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
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 far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Fill in our quote form.
How many meats should we choose?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
