What happens on the day
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Bowes Park until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
Bowes Park 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.

What’s the nearest station to Bowes Park?

What if our house in Bowes Park has no side access?

We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?

What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.

Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- No surprises: everything in writing
