A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with food vans, one catered barbecue keeps everyone eating together, with a menu planned around your guests. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- Space for our vehicle nearby
As a London location, East Dulwich is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
