BBQ catering in Lewisham, served hot

Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. For retirement do’s and work barbecues, we can cook beef burgers, pulled pork and coleslaw for your guests.

Gardens in Lewisham tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

The process

With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. For an evening barbecue in Lewisham, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

  1. Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
  2. We check the cooking spot and quote.
  3. We set up under cover before service.
  4. At food time, we cook and serve.
  5. We tidy up and pack away.

Getting ready for the day

  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
  • Give us a contact number for the day
  • Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

How to get a price

Send us the date, the address or SE13 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.

A catered barbecue compared with other options

Next to a buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

What you get with us

  • An itemised quote
  • Our chef at the grill, not you
  • Add a hog roast alongside
  • Serving and clearing done for you

Take a look at our pricing or our barbecue menu ideas.

What comes off the grill

Sausages

Grilled until golden and cooked right through, they’re the easy crowd-pleaser.

Beef brisket

Slow-cooked beef brisket, sliced to serve, for a more substantial plate.

Looking after everyone

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

  • Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
  • Mention any guests who avoid beef
  • Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
  • Ask about allergies when guests reply

When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.

Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

How to plan a catered barbecue

What the cooking area needs

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:

  • Room for a serving table next to the grill
  • Space for our vehicle nearby
  • Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees

Lewisham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

  • BBQ ribs
  • Beef brisket
  • Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
  • Jacket potatoes
  • New potatoes
  • Salads
  • Sausages
  • Beef burgers
  • Coleslaw
  • Halloumi skewers (V)
  • Chicken skewers
  • Pulled pork

How we price a catered barbecue

We work out each quote from:

  • Site access
  • Season and day of the week
  • Travel to Lewisham
  • Plates or china

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Details that help

These are the details we need:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • The date and time of the event
  • Rough numbers

Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

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

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

Common questions in Lewisham

Could you cook in Ladywell Fields?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.

Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Lewisham?

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.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes, on site at your venue in Lewisham. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.

Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?

Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.

How soon do barbecue dates go?

Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are generally easier to get. Fill in our quote form.

Will you clear up afterwards?

We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.

Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?

Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.

Do you come to Lewisham?

We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.

  • Cooked on site by our chef, outdoors under cover
  • A full barbecue menu, not just burgers
  • Meat-free choices cooked separately
  • Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
