BBQ catering in Clare Market, served hot
With BBQ catering, the barbecue, the food and the cooking are all on us. We cook on site at your event in Clare Market, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. Typical bookings include close and cul-de-sac parties and summer parties in the garden, serving beef burgers, coleslaw and BBQ ribs.
Gardens in Clare Market tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- Space for our vehicle nearby
Clare Market 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Clare Market questions
What if our house in Clare Market has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to Clare Market?
The closest is London Charing Cross station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: send us your details through our quote form.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
How much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
After service, our staff clear up, leaving the spot tidy.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
