How our BBQ catering works in Dagenham
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Dagenham: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. On the menu are beef burgers, chicken skewers and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for big birthday parties and work barbecues.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, barbecues in Dagenham come in all shapes. Let us know about the route in. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Before you choose a spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot well clear of buildings
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
As a London location, Dagenham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from Dagenham
Which station is closest to Dagenham?
The closest is Dagenham Dock station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
What if our house in Dagenham has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What do children typically eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What meats do you barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Barbecues in Dagenham: gardens, clubs and local tips
Dagenham is about 3 miles south of Romford, in Greater London. Hosts in Dagenham book us for events of all sizes. Dagenham is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater. Our nearest city page is London, about 11 miles away.
For anyone arriving by rail, the closest railway station is Dagenham Dock station, roughly 1.2 miles south-west of the centre. If you had Beam Valley Country Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: barbecues are often restricted in parks.
Here we cover the RM10, RM9, RM13 and RM7 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. That could mean an event in a garden on Exeter Road, Plumtree Close and Rodwell Place or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the barbecue. Dagenham is on the B178, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. Close by, we cover events in Becontree (1 mile north-west), Dagenham Green (1 mile south-west), Beam Park (1 mile south), South Hornchurch (1 mile south-east) and Hornchurch Marshes (2 miles south).

- Local pubs include Cross Keys pub (under half a mile south-east)
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- A full barbecue menu
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard

The process
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving for as long as we have agreed. Evening barbecues in Dagenham need a little planning: 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.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Include children in your numbers
- Name a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Planning help
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, which helps at busy times.
