BBQ catering for High Barnet
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
BBQ catering in High Barnet, cooked on site
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We are often asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and fundraising days, with beef burgers, chicken skewers and sausages.
Around High Barnet, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us about a rear gate, a front garden or a yard, and a photo helps us check. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

FAQs for High Barnet
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in High Barnet?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a barbecue in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Do you offer halal meat?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
