Gardens in East End of London tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences.

Pulled pork

Slow-cooked pork, pulled apart, and served in a soft roll, often with coleslaw.

Where the barbecue can go in East End of London

A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:

  • Space for our vehicle nearby
  • Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
  • Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit

East End of London is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Looking after everyone

We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:

  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
  • Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces

If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can.

Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.

Step by step

The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Autumn and winter barbecues in East End of London get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
  4. We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
  5. Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
  • Let us know about children’s numbers
  • Think about lights for the serving area after dark
