How our BBQ catering works in Crooked Billet
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’ll plan around it. Popular choices include pulled pork, coleslaw and beef brisket, and we are frequently booked for informal weddings and back-garden get-togethers.
London gardens around Crooked Billet are frequently small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces

If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will work around it where possible.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
How the day works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. For an evening barbecue in Crooked Billet, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

What’s on your BBQ menu?

Is the meat halal?
We don’t offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
