BBQ catering in London Docklands
How our BBQ catering works in London Docklands
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. On the menu are pulled pork, coleslaw and chicken skewers, and we are frequently booked for neighbourhood parties and leaving parties.
In a London neighbourhood like London Docklands, 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 a picture helps us check. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

The process
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. By late September, sunset in London Docklands is about 7:05pm; in December it is about 3:55pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
We cook as your guests come up, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Parking near the grill
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
As a London location, London Docklands 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
