Barbecues in Lambeth: gardens, clubs and local tips
Lambeth is about 1 mile south-west of London, in Greater London. Events in Lambeth are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Lambeth is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater.
Historic houses near Lambeth include Benjamin Franklin House (1.2 miles north) and Buckingham Palace (1.2 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early. If you had Old Paradise Gardens in mind, ask the council or landowner first: barbecues are often restricted in parks.
We cover events in every part of SE11, SW1P and SW8. From Gibson Road, Langley Lane and Randall Road or anywhere nearby, we can set up and cook there.

About our BBQ catering in Lambeth
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We’re often asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, serving halloumi skewers, sausages and BBQ ribs.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, barbecues in Lambeth come in all shapes. Tell us how we get the equipment in. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Lambeth: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue in Old Paradise Gardens?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Lambeth?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll check anything else with you.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What you get with us
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Served at the time you choose
- Cooked on site by our chef
What happens on the day
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. Evening barbecues in Lambeth need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests

What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A spot well clear of buildings
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
As a London location, Lambeth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

What BBQ catering costs
We work out each quote from:

- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Site access
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
