BBQ catering in Hadley Wood, cooked on site
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. We are frequently asked to cater family celebrations and informal weddings, serving pulled pork, sausages and coleslaw.
Gardens in Hadley Wood tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Hadley Wood
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Hadley Wood?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a barbecue in Tudor Sports Ground?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Hadley Wood. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Space, access and the venue
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- Parking near the grill
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
As a London location, Hadley Wood 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.
