Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A green light from whoever owns the site
Little Ilford 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.

The process
When we arrive, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. In Little Ilford, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
