How our BBQ catering works in Holloway Down
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Tell us your rough numbers and we’ll plan the menu and service. For birthdays and milestone parties and informal weddings, we can cook BBQ ribs, coleslaw and beef burgers for your guests.
Gardens in Holloway Down tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Common questions in Holloway Down
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Holloway Down?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a barbecue in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you come to Holloway Down?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
What do children usually eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask which items contain gluten
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What BBQ catering costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Parking near the grill
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A clear way in from where we park
Holloway Down is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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 you book.
