BBQ catering for Elephant and Castle
How our BBQ catering works in Elephant and Castle
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, because there is beef, chicken and pork to choose from, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Typical bookings include relaxed weddings and evening receptions and retirement do’s, serving chicken skewers, beef burgers and pulled pork.
Around Elephant and Castle, 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 send us a picture. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, which helps at busy times alongside the slow-cooked meats.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the cooking is in experienced hands. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Six meats to choose from
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
How it works
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. A summer barbecue in Elephant and Castle stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Let us know about tight access
