Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
After service, our staff clear up, so there’s very little left for you to do.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- A clear way in from where we park
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
As a London location, Cranham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Cranham
Which station is closest to Cranham?
The closest is Upminster station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Cranham?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
Will children like the BBQ?
Burgers and sausages are normally the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
How many meats should we choose?
Not generally. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Is the food cooked safely?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu; have napkins ready.
Beef brisket
Slow-cooked beef brisket, sliced to serve, rich and tender.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

How it works
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Sunset in Cranham is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
