BBQ catering in City of London, cooked on site

London gardens around City of London are frequently small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

For event organisers in City of London
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What we serve, dish by dish
Sausages
Barbecued sausages are always popular, in a roll or on a plate.
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, hot off the barbecue.
Your questions about a catered barbecue in City of London
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in City of London?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a barbecue in St Alphage Garden?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Is the meat halal?
We do not. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you cover City of London?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, City of London and the rest of City of London included. Send us the address for a quote.

City of London is about 1 mile north of London, in City of London. City of London and the surrounding area are covered for events.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
