A barbecue near Longlands
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- An itemised quote
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
See our prices page and BBQ menu ideas.
BBQ catering in Longlands, served hot
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Tell us about the space in Longlands and we’ll check it works. We are frequently asked to cater neighbourhood parties and leaving and retirement parties, serving BBQ ribs, beef brisket and chicken skewers.
London gardens around Longlands are frequently small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- Site access
- How many people are eating
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or DA15 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu.
Pulled pork
Slow-cooked pork, pulled apart, piled into rolls, frequently with coleslaw.
The process
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. For an evening barbecue in Longlands, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
Ask for a quote
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Longlands questions
Can you do a barbecue in Waring Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Longlands. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Is the meat halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
Longlands is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
