BBQ catering in Hornsey, cooked on site
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, because there is beef, chicken and pork to choose from, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. On the menu are coleslaw, beef burgers and pulled pork, and we’re often booked for big birthday parties and school fairs and summer fêtes.
London gardens around Hornsey are frequently small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Hornsey
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Hornsey?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a barbecue in Priory Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you come to Hornsey?
Yes, Hornsey is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Can you do halal?
We don’t. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Choose from salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, depending on the occasion.
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Planned to your running order
- Sides to make it a full meal
See our prices page or BBQ menu ideas.
How the day works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Evening barbecues in Hornsey need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

- The number of people
- Crockery choices
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

- Rough numbers

- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs

- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A spot well clear of buildings
Hornsey 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.
