About our BBQ catering in Lower Clapton
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, because there’s beef, chicken and pork to choose from, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. For charity fundraisers and club open days, we’ll put together a menu of sausages, beef burgers and pulled pork and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Lower Clapton, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us about a rear gate, a front garden or a yard, and a picture helps us check. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Common questions in Lower Clapton
Could you cook in Millfields Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Lower Clapton?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Burgers and sausages are typically the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is the food cooked safely?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
Do you need anything from us?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
The process
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. For an evening barbecue in Lower Clapton, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Confirm your menu choices in good time

How we price a catered barbecue
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- Travel to Lower Clapton
- The date and time of year
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
Lower Clapton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
