BBQ catering for your event in Harlesden
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Harlesden, outdoors under cover, and our staff serve and clear. We are frequently asked to cater leaving parties and summer staff days, serving halloumi skewers, coleslaw and BBQ ribs.
London gardens around Harlesden are often small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

What BBQ catering costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
FAQs for Harlesden
What if our house in Harlesden has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What’s the nearest station to Harlesden?
Harlesden has its own station: Willesden Junction station.
How much choice do we need?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
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’ll check.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
What we serve, dish by dish
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is slow-cooked until it falls apart, piled into rolls.
Sausages
Barbecued sausages are always popular, in a roll or on a plate.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- Parking near the grill
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Permission from the venue or landowner
As a London location, Harlesden 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.

How the day works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it is a case of cooking and serving for as long as we’ve agreed. Evening barbecues in Harlesden need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
