About our BBQ catering in Donnybrook Quarter
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we will plan around it. For relaxed weddings and evening receptions and club open days, we can cook pulled pork, coleslaw and halloumi skewers and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Donnybrook Quarter, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and a photo helps us check. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls
We cook as your guests come up, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.

Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
Donnybrook Quarter 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.

How it works
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. For an evening barbecue in Donnybrook Quarter, 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.

- How many people are eating

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays

If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
