Your questions about a catered barbecue in Hassell Street
Is Hassell Street too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Hassell Street from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Do you cater for vegetarians?

Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

About the food
BBQ ribs
Ribs make a barbecue feel like a feast, alongside the other meats.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal.
For event organisers in Hassell Street
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
