Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue

As a London location, Joyden's Wood 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.
