For event organisers in Grove Park
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
BBQ catering in Grove Park, served hot
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a photo of the space and we’ll confirm it. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, beef brisket and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for birthdays and milestone parties and charity fundraisers.
Gardens in Grove Park tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Grove Park barbecues: local tips
Grove Park is about 2 miles south-west of Eltham, in Greater London. We’re happy to travel to Grove Park for events and the places nearby. We bring barbecues to 764 places in Greater London. We cater events right across the region, from Grove Park to London (about 7 miles away).
If you had Chinbrook Meadows in mind, ask the council or landowner first: barbecues are frequently restricted in parks. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Haberdashers' Aske's Knights Academy, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser.
This part of Greater London takes in BR1, SE12 and SE9, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Shaw Road, Camlan Road and Baring Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. Being close to the A2212, Grove Park is simple for us to get to. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Chinbrook (1 mile east), Mottingham (1 mile east), Downham (1 mile south-west), Plaistow (1 mile south-west) and Sundridge (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include London (7 miles north-west), City of Westminster (9 miles north-west), Marylebone (9 miles north-west), Kensington (11 miles north-west), St Pancras (9 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (8 miles north-west).
A little further out are Municipal Borough of Bromley (2.2 miles south) and Greenwich Castle (3.4 miles north). Open spaces near Grove Park include Downham Woodland Walk and Summer Hill.
- Schools near Grove Park include Cooper's Lane Primary School (within half a mile north) and Colfe's School (1.3 miles north)
Step by step
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. At midsummer, it’s light in Grove Park until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.

Space, access and the venue
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
As a London location, Grove Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
