About our BBQ catering in Bow
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a picture of the space and we’ll confirm it. We serve halloumi skewers, sausages and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater garden parties and Fêtes, fairs and sports days.
Gardens in Bow 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. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Sausages
Cooked through and browned on the grill, they’re the easy crowd-pleaser.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Parking near the grill
Bow 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.

Bow: your questions answered
What if our house in Bow has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Which station is closest to Bow?
Hackney Wick station, about 0.9 miles north of the centre.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Is the meat halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
