About our BBQ catering in Colindale
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will work to it. We serve pulled pork, coleslaw and sausages, and we’re regularly asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and summer parties in the garden.
In a London neighbourhood like Colindale, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. If there is no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and send us a picture. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

How it works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. For an evening barbecue in Colindale, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Show us the space.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

Colindale questions
What’s the nearest station to Colindale?
Hendon station, about 1 mile south-east of the centre.
Could you cook in Sunny Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.

Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
