How our BBQ catering works in Grubb Street
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Grubb Street: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. Typical bookings include fundraising barbecues and neighbourhood parties, with coleslaw, beef brisket and beef burgers.
In a small place like Grubb Street, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Why choose BBQ catering in Grubb Street?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

What BBQ catering costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
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’ll keep everyone in the loop.
The process
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it is a case of cooking and serving for as long as we have agreed. Evening barbecues in Grubb Street need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Gather dietary requirements early

Questions from Grubb Street
Do you come out to small places like Grubb Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a barbecue in Longfield Chalk Bank?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
