About our BBQ catering in Covent Garden
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Tell us your rough numbers and we’ll plan the menu and service. Typical bookings include retirement do’s and big birthday parties, with coleslaw, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers.
London gardens around Covent Garden are frequently small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Covent Garden barbecues: local tips
Covent Garden is about 1 mile east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Events in Covent Garden are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Covent Garden is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
For guests coming by train, Covent Garden has its own station, London Charing Cross station. If your garden is too small, a club or hall near Covent Garden with outdoor space frequently works.
We cover events in every part of the W1F, W1D and W1T postcode area and the streets around it. We can cater an event on streets such as Duck Lane, Drury Lane and New Square or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Main roads around Covent Garden include the A301 and A400, so getting the barbecue to your event is simple. For events just outside Covent Garden, we cover Seven Dials (1 mile west), Aldwych (1 mile east), Adelphi (1 mile south), St Giles (1 mile north-west) and Clare Market (1 mile north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Kensington (4 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west), Stockwell (3 miles south) and Orpington (13 miles south-east).

What BBQ catering costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time

Questions from Covent Garden
Can you do a barbecue in Victoria Embankment Gardens?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Covent Garden?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Do you need anything from us?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Do you cover Covent Garden?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Covent Garden and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Parking near the grill
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
Covent Garden is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

How it works

- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
