BBQ catering for your event in Coldharbour
In Coldharbour, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. On the menu are halloumi skewers, coleslaw and pulled pork, and we are frequently booked for fundraising barbecues and close and cul-de-sac parties.
In a London neighbourhood like Coldharbour, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us about a rear gate, a front garden or a yard, and send us a photo. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Coldharbour until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Coldharbour
Which station is closest to Coldharbour?
The closest is Canary Wharf station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What if our house in Coldharbour has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
