Questions from Hackney Marshes
What’s the nearest station to Hackney Marshes?
Lea Bridge station, about 0.7 miles north-west of the centre.
What if our house in Hackney Marshes has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Is the meat halal?
We do not. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Hackney Marshes and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up. China is available on request.
What the cooking area needs
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
Hackney Marshes is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
