Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
After service, our staff clear up, so there is very little left for you to do.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
How our BBQ catering works in Chelsham
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we’ll plan around it. For garden parties and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, we can cook chicken skewers, BBQ ribs and pulled pork for your guests.
Near Chelsham, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

About the food
Beef brisket
Brisket makes a barbecue feel like a proper meal, especially at a wedding or work event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
How it works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. Sunset in Chelsham is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.
- Show us the space.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Getting ready for the day

Questions from Chelsham
Is Chelsham 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.
How far is Chelsham from London?
About 13 miles from central London.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Will children like the BBQ?
Burgers and sausages are normally the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Can you do halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
