How our BBQ catering works in Forest Hill
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. For team days and staff summer parties and street parties, we’ll put together a menu of BBQ ribs, pulled pork and chicken skewers for your guests.
Near Forest Hill, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

What affects the price in Forest Hill
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Roughly how many people
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Forest Hill: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue in Shotover Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Forest Hill close to London?
About 49 miles from central London.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Typically, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
What does the venue need to provide?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
Can you cater in Forest Hill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Forest Hill and Oxfordshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
What the cooking area needs
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. For an evening barbecue in Forest Hill, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
