Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.

What happens on the day
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. By late September, sunset in Green Park is about 7:10pm; in December it’s about 3:55pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
