BBQ catering for your event in Loughton
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, because there’s beef, chicken and pork to choose from, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. We serve chicken skewers, beef brisket and BBQ ribs, and we’re frequently booked for reunions and family get-togethers and community fun days.
In a place like Loughton, a barbecue at home is generally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Loughton: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue in South Loughton Valley park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Loughton?
Milton Keynes Central station, in Loughton itself.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you come to Loughton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Loughton and the rest of Milton Keynes included. Send us the address for a quote.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal.
Sausages
Sausages go down well with younger guests, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
What the cooking area needs
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Parking near the grill
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- 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.
