How our BBQ catering works in Coulsdon
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will work to it. We’re often asked to cater fundraising barbecues and sports clubs and team events, with BBQ ribs, beef burgers and beef brisket.
Around Coulsdon, 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 photo helps us check. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. A summer barbecue in Coulsdon stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
