How our BBQ catering works in Chalk Farm
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. Pick the meats that suit your guests. Popular choices include BBQ ribs, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers, and typical bookings are for summer staff days and back-garden get-togethers.
Gardens in Chalk Farm 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. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the cooking is in experienced hands. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like

Chalk Farm questions
Can you do a barbecue in Primrose Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Chalk Farm has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How much choice do we need?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Step by step
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Evening barbecues in Chalk Farm need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

Running late? Let us know, and we’ll adjust where we can.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
What BBQ catering costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

- Anything the venue has asked for

What we serve, dish by dish
Beef brisket
Brisket is a favourite with people who like their beef, served on a plate or in a roll.
Sausages
Cooked through and browned on the grill, they’re the easy crowd-pleaser.
Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
As a London location, Chalk Farm is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
