How our BBQ catering works in East Ham
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. Typical bookings include birthdays and milestone parties and engagement and anniversary parties, serving chicken skewers, beef burgers and coleslaw.
London gardens around East Ham are frequently small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
How we price a catered barbecue
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
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 the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A clear way in from where we park
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Permission from the venue or landowner
As a London location, East Ham 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 you book.

How it works

- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Before we arrive

Your questions about a catered barbecue in East Ham
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in East Ham?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Could you cook in Beckton District Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Should we have every meat?
Not typically. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we’ll advise on the rest.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. 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.
