How our BBQ catering works in Holywell
Whether it’s twenty friends in a garden or a whole workforce in a car park, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Give us an idea of numbers and we’ll suggest a menu. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and sports days and fundraising days, with beef burgers, chicken skewers and coleslaw.
Around Holywell, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. If there is no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and a photo helps us check. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Parking near the grill
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
As a London location, Holywell 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 photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How the day works
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. In Holywell, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
