Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
Common questions in Holborn
Can you do a barbecue in Lincoln's Inn Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if our house in Holborn has no side access?
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.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Holborn. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- The address or postcode

Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
As a London location, Holborn 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
