BBQ catering for your event in Canning Town
There’s something about a barbecue that gets people talking: the smell, the queue and the plates piled high. In Canning Town, we’ll set up where it suits your event. On the menu are sausages, halloumi skewers and beef burgers, and we’re regularly asked to cater fundraising barbecues and community fun days.
In a London neighbourhood like Canning Town, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us about a rear gate, a front garden or a yard, and a picture helps us check. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

What else we do in Canning Town
Canning Town: your questions answered
Could you cook in Keir Hardie Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Canning Town?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Will children like the BBQ?
Typically, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate.
How much choice do we need?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Can you do halal?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel to Canning Town
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Served at the time you choose
