How our BBQ catering works in Elmers End
In Elmers End, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We are frequently asked to cater club open days and big birthday parties, with sausages, halloumi skewers and beef brisket.
London gardens around Elmers End are often small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
As a London location, Elmers End 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.

Elmers End questions
Could you cook in Winsford Gardens?

Is the food cooked safely?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.

Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. In Elmers End, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
