For event organisers in Hacton

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

What the cooking area needs

A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:

  • Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
  • Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
  • A level lawn, patio or hard standing

As a London location, Hacton 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Hacton

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes, on site at your venue in Hacton. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.

Do you need anything from us?

Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll check anything else with you.

How it works

A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. For an evening barbecue in Hacton, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

  1. Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
  2. We check the cooking spot and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
  4. At food time, we cook and serve.
  5. We tidy up and pack away.

Before we arrive

  • Gather dietary requirements early
  • Keep the grill downwind of the seating
  • Think about shelter for your guests
