About our BBQ catering in Emerson Park
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. Our chef grills on site in Emerson Park, under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. Whether it is birthdays and milestone parties and sports clubs and team events, we’ll put together a menu of BBQ ribs, pulled pork and halloumi skewers.
Gardens in Emerson Park tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Emerson Park
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
The process
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. In Emerson Park, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
Common questions in Emerson Park
What’s the nearest station to Emerson Park?
Emerson Park station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you do a barbecue in Haynes Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there is enough.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Sausages
Children generally head straight for the sausages.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a row of street-food vans, one catered barbecue keeps everyone eating together, with a menu planned around your guests. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
