BBQ catering for Isle of Dogs

Before you choose a spot

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

  • A spot well clear of buildings
  • Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
  • A clear way in from where we park

Isle of Dogs 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.

How our BBQ catering works in Isle of Dogs

The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, well clear of walls, marquee sides and trees. Tell us about the space in Isle of Dogs and we’ll check it works. Popular choices include chicken skewers, coleslaw and sausages, and we’re frequently booked for engagement and anniversary parties and work barbecues.

London gardens around Isle of Dogs are often small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

How it works

The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you. For an evening barbecue in Isle of Dogs, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
  3. On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
  4. Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
  5. We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
  • Name a contact for the day
  • Think about lights for the serving area after dark
