BBQ catering for your event in Dagenham Dock
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. We are often asked to cater birthdays and milestone parties and fundraising barbecues, with coleslaw, beef brisket and chicken skewers.
In Dagenham Dock, the barbecue might go in a garden, a school playground or a works yard. Tell us how we get the equipment in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

A catered BBQ in Dagenham Dock: what to know
Dagenham Dock is about 2 miles south-west of Dagenham, in Greater London. Planning a catered barbecue in Dagenham Dock? We cover the whole area. Dagenham Dock is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Dagenham Dock to London (about 10 miles away).
Churches such as St Martin's Church rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby typically does. A green space like Parsloes Park is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so.
Anywhere in RM9, SE28 and IG11, we can bring the barbecue to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on Perry Road, Choats Road and Chequers Lane or anywhere nearby, we will bring the barbecue to you. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Dagenham Green (1 mile north-east), Hornchurch Marshes (1 mile east), Thamesmead (1 mile south-west), Beam Park (1 mile east) and Barking Riverside (1 mile west).

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the cooking is in experienced hands. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Coleslaw is the natural partner for pulled pork, and salads add freshness.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
