BBQ catering for your event in Kingston upon Thames

There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Popular choices include chicken skewers, beef brisket and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater evening wedding food and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays.

In Kingston upon Thames, the barbecue might go in a garden, a school playground or a works yard. 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.

A closer look at the menu

BBQ ribs

Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu; have napkins ready.

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes

Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, to suit your event.

For planners, venues and organisers

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

A catered barbecue compared with other options

Compared with a cold buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Before you choose a spot

Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
Room for a serving table next to the grill
Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows

Kingston upon Thames 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.

BBQ catering: how to plan a catered barbecue

Kingston upon Thames: your questions answered

What if our house in Kingston upon Thames has no side access?

It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.

Could you cook in Canbury Gardens?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.

Is clearing up included?

We tidy the serving area. Ask if you’d like china.

Can you do a hog roast as well?

Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.

What happens after service?

Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.

Do you cover Kingston upon Thames?

We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.

Is BBQ catering only for summer?

Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.

How far ahead should we book a barbecue?

Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
