BBQ catering in Highgate, served hot
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Give us your serving time and we will plan around it. For retirement do’s and fundraising days, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, pulled pork and chicken skewers and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Highgate, 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 photo helps us check. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

The process
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests.

- 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 clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What comes off the grill
Sausages
Sausages are a barbecue favourite, served in a roll or with sides.
Chicken skewers
Chicken gives guests who don’t eat pork or beef a meat option, cooked until it’s hot all the way through.

Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Highgate questions
Can you do a barbecue in Whittington Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Highgate has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is the meat halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Barbecue venues around Highgate
Highgate is about 2 miles north-east of Hampstead, in Greater London. We cover Highgate and its neighbours for events. Highgate is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater.
A green space like Whittington Park is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School, often want a barbecue.
This part of Greater London takes in N6, N19 and NW5. Whether your event is on Wood Lane, Grange Road and Talbot Road or a nearby road, we will bring the barbecue to you. For events just outside Highgate, we cover Upper Holloway (1 mile south-east), Dartmouth Park (1 mile south), Lissenden Gardens (1 mile south), Crouch End (1 mile north-east) and Tufnell Park (1 mile south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as London (5 miles south-east), City of Westminster (4 miles south), Marylebone (4 miles south), Kensington (6 miles south-west), St Pancras (3 miles south) and Shoreditch (4 miles south-east).
A little further out are The Mall Wood Green (2.2 miles north-east) and Kenwood House (1 mile west). Within reach you’ll find Darland's Lake and Parkland Walk.
- Local schools include St Aloysius RC College (less than half a mile south-east) and Asanté Academy of Chinese Medicine (0.5 miles north)
- Local pubs include The Angel Inn (within half a mile south-west)
- Other local spots include Hornsey (1.2 miles north-east)
What affects the price in Highgate
Each price is built from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
As a London location, Highgate is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
