How our BBQ catering works in Kensal Town

A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Kensal Town: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. We’re frequently asked to cater birthdays and milestone parties and club open days, with BBQ ribs, sausages and pulled pork.

From a family garden to an office courtyard, barbecues in Kensal Town come in all shapes. Tell us how we get the equipment in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Before you choose a spot

Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:

  • Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
  • A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
  • A wet-weather plan for your guests

Kensal Town 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.

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after everyone

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

  • Add a dietary question to the invitation
  • Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
  • Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.

Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Kensal Town questions

Which station is closest to Kensal Town?

The closest is Queens Park (London) station, roughly 0.7 miles away.

What if our house in Kensal Town has no side access?

Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.

Do you label the food for allergies?

We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.

How far ahead should we book?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.

Can you do halal?

No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.

Is the food cooked safely?

That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.

What does the venue need to provide?

Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We’ll check anything else with you.

Should we have every meat?

Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.

Why choose BBQ catering in Kensal Town?

Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and it does not need a kitchen. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Why Kensal Town hosts choose us

  • No surprises: everything in writing
  • Meat-free choices on every menu

How the day works

We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. A summer barbecue in Kensal Town stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.

  1. We start with your date, venue and numbers.
  2. Choose your meats and sides.
  3. We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
  4. On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
  5. We clear up and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Measure the narrowest gate or passage
  • Tell us roughly how many children are coming
  • Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
