About our BBQ catering in Goddington
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Goddington: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. We serve coleslaw, sausages and beef burgers, and we are frequently booked for informal weddings and sports clubs and team events.
Around Goddington, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. 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 raw and cooked food kept apart.

Questions from Goddington
What if our house in Goddington has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do you cater at venues 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.
Do you need anything from us?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
What do children normally eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do you come to Goddington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Goddington and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a row of street-food vans, a single barbecue feeds your group together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Our staff serve and clear
- A clear quote with everything listed
Take a look at our pricing or menu ideas for your barbecue.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
The process
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. For an evening barbecue in Goddington, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Include children in your numbers
- Send final numbers in good time
