BBQ catering for Finchley

For event organisers in Finchley

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

BBQ catering in Finchley, served hot

The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, well clear of walls, marquee sides and trees. Tell us about the space in Finchley and we’ll check it works. For informal weddings and engagement and anniversary parties, we can cook beef burgers, pulled pork and beef brisket for your guests.

London gardens around Finchley are often small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. 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.

Planning the cooking spot

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:

  • A clear way in from where we park
  • Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
  • Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot

As a London location, Finchley 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.

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

See how we price and menu ideas for your barbecue.

How it works

Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Sunset in Finchley is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

  1. It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
  3. On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
  4. We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
  5. We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us roughly how many children are coming
  • Think about where the smoke will drift
  • Send final numbers in good time

How to get a price

Send us the date, the address or N3 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.

New Southgate station, about 1.9 miles north-east of the centre.

Will children like the BBQ?

Do you need anything from us?

Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.

Does rain stop the barbecue?

The cooking area is covered, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.

Do you leave the area tidy?

Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • Distance from us

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

  • Allergies we should know about
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

Barbecues in Finchley: gardens, clubs and local tips

Finchley is about 6 miles north of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Finchley and the surrounding area are covered for events. We bring barbecues to all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 8 miles away.

A green space like Victoria Park is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as Manorside Primary School, frequently want a barbecue.

Here we cover the N3, N2, N12 and NW11 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Station Road, Chaplin Square and Market Place, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. Being close to the B1462, Finchley is simple for us to get to. If your venue is just outside Finchley, we also cover Church End (1 mile west), Woodside Park (1 mile north), North Finchley (1 mile north), Friern Barnet (2 miles north-east) and Oakleigh Park (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover London (8 miles south-east), City of Westminster (6 miles south), Marylebone (6 miles south), Kensington (7 miles south), St Pancras (6 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (7 miles south-east).

Nearby you will also find Grand Arcade (1 mile north) and Municipal Borough of Finchley (within half a mile east). Green spaces nearby include Highgate Hill and Lakeside Nature Reserve.

  • Schools near Finchley include Bishop Douglass School (0.5 miles south) and Woodhouse College (1 mile north-east)

Looking after everyone

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
  • Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
  • Ask which items contain gluten

The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.

Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.

The menu, dish by dish

BBQ ribs

Ribs make a barbecue feel like a feast, served alongside the burgers and sausages.

Beef brisket

Beef brisket is slow-cooked and sliced, for a more substantial plate.

  • Our chef at the grill, so you don’t have to be
  • A full barbecue menu, not just burgers
  • Something for everyone, including vegetarians and vegans
  • Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
