FAQs for Hammill Park
Is Hammill Park close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Hammill Park?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How do you handle food safety?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.

How it works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. For an evening barbecue in Hammill Park, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Include children in your numbers
