BBQ catering in Brompton
BBQ catering in Brompton, served hot
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Brompton: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. For leaving and retirement parties and cricket, football and rugby club days, we can cook BBQ ribs, beef brisket and chicken skewers.
Barbecues around Brompton are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A catered barbecue fits right in, and you won’t spend it cooking. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Step by step
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. For an evening barbecue in Brompton, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

Questions from Brompton
Is Brompton close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Great Lines Heritage Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
What does the venue need to provide?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
Do you come to Brompton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Brompton and the rest of Medway included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
