BBQ catering in Hornchurch, cooked on site
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. Whether it is fundraising days and sports clubs and team events, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, pulled pork and BBQ ribs and more.
Around Hornchurch, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and a photo helps us check. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What else we do in Hornchurch
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Parking near the grill
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
As a London location, Hornchurch is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Step by step
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. For an evening barbecue in Hornchurch, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

Hornchurch: your questions answered
What if our house in Hornchurch 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’ll advise.
Could you cook in St. Andrew's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Use our quote form.
How do you handle food safety?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will work around it where possible.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
