About our BBQ catering in Little London

Near Little London, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

The process
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it is flexible. At midsummer, it’s light in Little London until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Name a contact for the day

What BBQ catering costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

We cook as your guests come up, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
