BBQ catering in Hadley, served hot
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. On the menu are beef brisket, beef burgers and BBQ ribs, and we’re regularly asked to cater community fun days and summer parties in the garden.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, barbecues in Hadley come in all shapes. Tell us how we get the equipment in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

How we price a catered barbecue
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Barbecues in Hadley: gardens, clubs and local tips
Hadley is about 1 mile north-west of Barnet, in Greater London. We cover Hadley and its neighbours for events. Hadley is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Hadley to London (12 miles away).
If the day starts at a church like Christ Church, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. A green space like King George's Fields (Monken Hadley) is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so.
Wherever your event is in EN5 and EN4, we can bring the barbecue to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on Byng Road, Park Road and Dury Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the barbecue to you. Hadley is on the A1081, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. Neighbouring places where we cater events include High Barnet (1 mile west), Kitts End (1 mile north), Arkley (1 mile south-west), Totteridge (1 mile south) and Dancers Hill (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover London (12 miles south-east), City of Westminster (10 miles south), Marylebone (10 miles south), Kensington (11 miles south), St Pancras (10 miles south) and Shoreditch (10 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Spires Shopping Centre (within half a mile south-west) and Barnet Urban District (0.5 miles south). Within reach you will find Darland's Lake and King George's Fields (Monken Hadley).
- Schools near Hadley include Foulds School (within half a mile west) and Queen Elizabeth's Girls' School (less than half a mile south-east)
- Pubs nearby include Ye Olde Monken Holt pub (under half a mile north)

How the day works
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. For an evening barbecue in Hadley, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
How to get a price
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Where the barbecue can go in Hadley
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
As a London location, Hadley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Hadley
Could you cook in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Hadley?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Can you do halal?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
- Grilled at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Burgers, sausages and chicken, plus ribs, pulled pork and brisket
