BBQ catering in Catford
BBQ catering in Catford, served hot
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, because there is beef, chicken and pork to choose from, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. Popular choices include beef brisket, BBQ ribs and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for fundraising barbecues and leaving and retirement parties.
Gardens in Catford tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Catford: your questions answered
What if our house in Catford has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What’s the nearest station to Catford?
Catford Bridge station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you cover Catford?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Catford and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
