About our BBQ catering in Ditton Hill
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Whether it’s fundraising days and work barbecues, we’ll put together a menu of BBQ ribs, sausages and halloumi skewers and more.
Around Ditton Hill, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us about a rear gate, a front garden or a yard, and send us a picture. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask which items contain gluten

- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
What we serve, dish by dish
Sausages
Sausages go down well with younger guests, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
Ditton Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
