For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
BBQ catering in Eel Pie Island, cooked on site
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, because there’s beef, chicken and pork to choose from, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement do’s and big birthday parties, serving pulled pork, coleslaw and sausages.
Around Eel Pie Island, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us about a rear gate, a front garden or a yard, and a photo helps us check. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
As a London location, Eel Pie Island 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.

- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
