How our BBQ catering works in Herne Hill
In Herne Hill, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. Typical bookings include work barbecues and fundraising barbecues, serving sausages, beef brisket and BBQ ribs.
In a London neighbourhood like Herne Hill, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us about a rear gate, a front garden or a yard, and a picture helps us check. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
