Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
How our BBQ catering works in Gants Hill
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. You choose the mix that suits your event. For fundraising barbecues and cricket, football and rugby club days, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers and more.
Around Gants Hill, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and a photo helps us check. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

The process
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Sunset in Gants Hill is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
How to prepare

- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- A green light from whoever owns the site
