Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
How it works
We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, it’s light in Bradwell Abbey until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.

- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.

Bradwell Abbey: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Bradwell Abbey?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a barbecue in South Loughton Valley park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
How much choice do we need?
Not typically. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
