How our BBQ catering works in Crossness
In Crossness, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. Whether it’s birthdays and milestone parties and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, we will put together a menu of chicken skewers, sausages and beef burgers.
In a London neighbourhood like Crossness, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. 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. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

The process
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. In Crossness, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests

Why choose BBQ catering in Crossness?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Can you barbecue in bad weather?

Do you cook the barbecue on site?
