BBQ catering in Cannon Hill, served hot
Some hosts in Cannon Hill pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. We can quote for either or both. We serve beef brisket, coleslaw and pulled pork, and we are often booked for team days and staff summer parties and cricket, football and rugby club days.
Around Cannon Hill, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us about a rear gate, a front garden or a yard, and a photo helps us check. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees

What comes off the grill

Sausages go down well with younger guests, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
Beef burgers
No barbecue is complete without burgers, and they’re a safe bet for children and adults alike.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Tell us about children’s numbers
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Why book our barbecue in Cannon Hill
- A choice of salads and potatoes

How we price a catered barbecue
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
