For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

What affects the price in Gospel Oak
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
Send us the date, the address or NW5 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
