East Finchley questions
Which station is closest to East Finchley?
The closest is New Southgate station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
What if our house in East Finchley has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll check anything else with you.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
When should we book BBQ catering?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are normally easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
BBQ catering for your event in East Finchley
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can enjoy your own event. We’re often asked to cater engagement and anniversary parties and cricket, football and rugby club days, with beef brisket, BBQ ribs and pulled pork.
Gardens in East Finchley tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
How we price a catered barbecue
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- Travel to East Finchley
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Where the barbecue can go in East Finchley
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
As a London location, East Finchley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

The process
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. In East Finchley, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
How to prepare
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
