How our BBQ catering works in Lissenden Gardens
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 are frequently asked to cater sports clubs and team events and informal weddings, serving BBQ ribs, pulled pork and coleslaw.
Around Lissenden Gardens, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and a picture helps us check.

What the cooking area needs
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- A clear way in from where we park
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
As a London location, Lissenden Gardens 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.

How it works
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. From there, we cook as your guests come up, worked around your serving time. Evening barbecues in Lissenden Gardens 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.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and food safety is in professional hands. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
