About our BBQ catering in Laleham
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a photo of the space and we’ll confirm it. On the menu are sausages, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers, and we’re frequently booked for summer parties in the garden and leaving parties.
For a barbecue in Laleham, the garden is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
About the food
Sausages
Grilled until golden and cooked right through, sausages are simple and satisfying.
Chicken skewers
Chicken gives guests who do not eat pork or beef a meat option.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Planned to your running order
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Take a look at our prices page and our barbecue menu ideas.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

What else we do in Laleham
Laleham questions
Which station is closest to Laleham?
The closest is Staines station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Could you cook in Penton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
What do you need from the venue?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.

How the day works
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. Sunset in Laleham is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose the menu a week or so before
