Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Crunchy coleslaw suits barbecue food, while salads keep it light.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Clayhall
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose BBQ catering in Clayhall?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Why book with us
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- An itemised quote
- Served at the time you choose
- Add a hog roast alongside
See our pricing or BBQ menu ideas.
How the day works
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. For an evening barbecue in Clayhall, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
