How our BBQ catering works in Clapton
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Whether it is community fun days and leaving and retirement parties, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, chicken skewers and beef burgers.
Around Clapton, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us about a rear gate, a front garden or a yard, and a photo helps us check. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Planning the cooking spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
Clapton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
