How our BBQ catering works in Cheam
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Typical bookings include garden parties and team days and staff summer parties, with pulled pork, chicken skewers and sausages.
Gardens in Cheam tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Barbecue venues around Cheam
Cheam is about 1 mile south-west of Sutton, in Greater London. Events in Cheam are part of our patch. Cheam is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 12 miles away.
A green space like Howell Hill is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. Nearby historic houses include Nonsuch Mansion (1 mile north-west) and Fitznells Manor (1.8 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early. Cheam is within about 8 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
This part of Greater London takes in SM2, SM3 and SM1. Whether your event is on Wray Road, York Road and The Avenue or a nearby road, we will bring the barbecue to you. Close by, we cover events in Belmont (1 mile south-east), Cuddington (1 mile north-west), North Looe (1 mile south-west), North Cheam (2 miles north) and Nork (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as London (12 miles north-east), City of Westminster (12 miles north), Marylebone (12 miles north), Kensington (11 miles north), St Pancras (13 miles north) and Shoreditch (14 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Municipal Borough of Sutton and Cheam (1 mile north-east) and Chessington Castle Hill (3.5 miles west). The countryside around Cheam includes Duppas Hill and Belmont Pastures.
- Local schools include Avenue Primary Academy (0.5 miles south-east) and Overton Grange School (0.7 miles north-east)
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
Cheam is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Can you serve the barbecue on plates?

For event organisers in Cheam
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How we price a catered barbecue
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Cheam
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
