BBQ catering in Farthing Street, served hot
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Tell us about the space in Farthing Street and we’ll check it works. We are frequently asked to cater summer staff days and informal weddings, serving sausages, halloumi skewers and beef brisket.
In a London neighbourhood like Farthing Street, 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 a photo helps us check. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. In Farthing Street, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

FAQs for Farthing Street
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Farthing Street?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
When should we book BBQ catering?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: send us your details through our quote form.
How much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A spot well clear of buildings
As a London location, Farthing Street is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
