About our BBQ catering in Long Ditton
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Long Ditton, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We are frequently asked to cater neighbourhood parties and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, with BBQ ribs, sausages and coleslaw.
In a London neighbourhood like Long Ditton, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and a photo helps us check. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

What affects the price in Long Ditton
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
Send us the date, the address or KT6 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
Where the barbecue can go in Long Ditton
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
As a London location, Long Ditton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

How it works
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Autumn and winter barbecues in Long Ditton get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
- Give us a contact number for the day

Long Ditton questions
Can you do a barbecue in Stokes Field?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Long Ditton has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
What do you need from the venue?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
