BBQ catering in Dunn Street, served hot
With BBQ catering, the barbecue, the food and the cooking are all on us. We cook on site at your event in Dunn Street, outdoors under cover, and our staff serve and clear. We are frequently asked to cater informal weddings and birthdays and milestone parties, serving beef brisket, halloumi skewers and BBQ ribs.
A barbecue in the countryside near Dunn Street makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
How the day works
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Sunset in Dunn Street is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Name a contact for the day

Dunn Street questions
Is Dunn Street close to London?
About 31 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in South Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What does the venue need to provide?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there is enough.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
