BBQ catering for your event in Charter Alley
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. On the menu are beef brisket, halloumi skewers and sausages, and we’re regularly asked to cater informal weddings and sports clubs and team events.
In a small place like Charter Alley, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Where the barbecue can go in Charter Alley
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches

What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. For an evening barbecue in Charter Alley, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Charter Alley
Is Charter Alley close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Is Charter Alley too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Fill in our quote form.
What do children usually eat?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
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.
