BBQ catering for Hackney Wick
BBQ catering for your event in Hackney Wick
For bigger events in Hackney Wick, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we’ll quote for both. For street parties and reunions and family get-togethers, we can cook chicken skewers, BBQ ribs and sausages and more.
Gardens in Hackney Wick tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a DIY barbecue, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Parking near the grill
- A spot well clear of buildings
As a London location, Hackney Wick is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

About the food
Beef brisket
Beef brisket is slow-cooked and sliced, for a more substantial plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
What BBQ catering costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Site access
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there is no need to borrow a grill.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

The process
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, worked around your serving time. A summer barbecue in Hackney Wick stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
- Show us the space.
- We check it and send a price.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Hackney Wick: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Hackney Wick?
Hackney Wick station, in Hackney Wick itself.
Can you do a barbecue in Mabley Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
How do you handle food safety?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
- Cooked on site by our chef, outdoors under cover
- Six barbecue meats to choose from
- Meat-free choices cooked separately
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
