BBQ catering for Fish Island
BBQ catering for your event in Fish Island
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. We are frequently asked to cater street parties and informal weddings, with coleslaw, BBQ ribs and beef burgers.
London gardens around Fish Island are frequently small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Beef brisket
Beef brisket is slow-cooked and sliced, for a more substantial plate.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork in a roll with coleslaw is hard to beat, filling and easy to eat.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
Fish Island is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

What BBQ catering costs
Your quote depends on:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- Travel to Fish Island
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
How the day works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Sunset in Fish Island is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
Fish Island questions
Can you do a barbecue in Grove Hall Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Fish Island has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Should we have every meat?
Not typically. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
