BBQ catering in Eltham, served hot
With BBQ catering, the barbecue, the food and the cooking are all on us. We cook on site at your event in Eltham, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. For engagement and anniversary parties and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, sausages and pulled pork.
In a London neighbourhood like Eltham, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us about a rear gate, a front garden or a yard, and send us a photo. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
