What happens on the day

For an evening barbecue in Goodmayes, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

BBQ catering for your event in Goodmayes
In Goodmayes, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. For close and cul-de-sac parties and back-garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of chicken skewers, beef brisket and coleslaw and more.
In Goodmayes, the barbecue might go in a garden, a school playground or a works yard. Let us know about the route in. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
What we serve, dish by dish
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is ready to serve from the start of service, so nobody waits for the grill.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Choose from salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, depending on the occasion.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll work around it where possible.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Goodmayes questions
Could you cook in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Goodmayes?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What meats do you barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we’ll advise on the rest.
Can you do halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Use our quote form.
How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book our barbecue in Goodmayes

Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
As a London location, Goodmayes is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
