About our BBQ catering in Friday Hill
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 serve beef burgers, BBQ ribs and pulled pork, and typical bookings are for leaving parties and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays.
In a London neighbourhood like Friday Hill, 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. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

What happens on the day
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. At midsummer, it is light in Friday Hill until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.

Friday Hill: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue in The Highams Park?

Chingford station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What do children generally eat?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.

Space, access and the venue
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
Friday Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
