Questions from Foots Cray
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Foots Cray?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Use our quote form.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Do you need anything from us?
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.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
BBQ catering for your event in Foots Cray
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. Popular choices include BBQ ribs, pulled pork and sausages, and typical bookings are for birthdays and milestone parties and neighbourhood parties.
Around Foots Cray, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. If there is no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and a picture helps us check. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- A green light from whoever owns the site
