How our BBQ catering works in Holloway
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will plan around it. For relaxed weddings and evening receptions and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, we can cook chicken skewers, sausages and coleslaw for your guests.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, barbecues in Holloway come in all shapes. Let us know about the route in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Questions from Holloway
Can you do a barbecue in Whittington Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Holloway has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
What comes off the grill
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning a barbecue in Holloway
Holloway is about 2 miles north-west of Hoxton, in Greater London. We cover Holloway and its neighbours for events. We cover 764 places across Greater London.
Among the historic houses close to Holloway are Witanhurst (1.7 miles north-west) and Athlone House (2 miles north-west). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. PTAs at schools such as Grafton Primary School frequently look for a barbecue for fairs and sports days.
Events anywhere in N7, N19 and N4 start with an outdoor spot for the barbecue and a serving time. Local streets include Penn Road, Lough Road and Tabley Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. For events just outside Holloway, we cover Nag's Head (1 mile north), Lower Holloway (1 mile south), Tufnell Park (1 mile west), Upper Holloway (1 mile north-west) and Barnsbury (1 mile south).

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Six meats to choose from
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- An itemised quote

- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
Holloway 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.

Step by step
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. In Holloway, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Show us the space.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Planning help
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask which items contain gluten
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
- Our chef at the grill, so you don’t have to be
- Burgers, sausages and chicken, plus ribs, pulled pork and brisket
- Meat-free choices cooked separately
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
