BBQ catering in Kennington, served hot
In Kennington, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. Whether it is big birthday parties and leaving parties, we can cook beef brisket, pulled pork and BBQ ribs for your guests.
For a barbecue in Kennington, the garden is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Six meats to choose from

Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

- Pulled pork
- Salads
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- New potatoes
- Beef brisket
- Chicken skewers
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Step by step
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. A summer barbecue in Kennington stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:00pm.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
