About our BBQ catering in Cockfosters
Some hosts in Cockfosters pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we’ll quote for both. For cricket, football and rugby club days and reunions and family get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of sausages, beef burgers and beef brisket and more.
Around Cockfosters, 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 picture helps us check. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
