BBQ catering in Longford, cooked on site
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. Typical bookings include team days and staff summer parties and Fêtes, fairs and sports days, with beef brisket, sausages and coleslaw.
In a small place like Longford, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What comes off the grill
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Longford questions
Could you cook in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Longford from London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Longford. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option.
Is the food cooked safely?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with ordering takeaway, a barbecue becomes part of the event, and the grill becomes a gathering point. 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.
Why us?
- Six meats to choose from
- Our staff serve and clear
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- A choice of salads and potatoes

How it works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it is flexible. Sunset in Longford is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
