Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
BBQ catering in Farringdon, cooked on site
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. Our chef grills on site in Farringdon, under cover, and our staff serve and clear. Popular choices include beef brisket, pulled pork and BBQ ribs, and we’re often booked for community fun days and summer parties in the garden.
Around Farringdon, 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 picture helps us check. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What the cooking area needs
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
As a London location, Farringdon 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.
