BBQ catering for your event in Little Venice
In Little Venice, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We serve BBQ ribs, coleslaw and chicken skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater relaxed weddings and evening receptions and Fêtes, fairs and sports days.
In a London neighbourhood like Little Venice, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. If there is no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and send us a photo. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Choose from salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, depending on the occasion.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Little Venice
Can you do a barbecue in Kensington Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Little Venice?
Little Venice has its own station: London Paddington station.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
When should we book BBQ catering?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: use our quote form.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
Do you cover Little Venice?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Little Venice and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
For event organisers in Little Venice
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How it works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves for as long as we have agreed. Autumn and winter barbecues in Little Venice get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
