BBQ catering in Kennington, served hot
With BBQ catering, the barbecue, the food and the cooking are all on us. Our chef grills on site in Kennington, under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We are frequently asked to cater summer staff days and leaving and retirement parties, serving chicken skewers, coleslaw and beef brisket.
In a London neighbourhood like Kennington, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and send us a photo. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

FAQs for Kennington
Could you cook in Vauxhall Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Kennington?
Kennington has its own station: Vauxhall station.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What does the venue need to provide?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We cook as your guests come up, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What BBQ catering costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- Travel to Kennington
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Parking near the grill
- Permission from the venue or landowner
Kennington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
