About our BBQ catering in Bloomsbury
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, because there is beef, chicken and pork to choose from, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Whether it is charity fundraisers and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, we can cook beef brisket, pulled pork and coleslaw and more.
Gardens in Bloomsbury 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. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Where the barbecue can go in Bloomsbury
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A clear way in from where we park
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
Bloomsbury 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Bloomsbury
What’s the nearest station to Bloomsbury?
London Euston station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Bloomsbury?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What does the venue need to provide?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service. Ask if you’d like china.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
