BBQ catering for Maida Vale
Step by step
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. Evening barbecues in Maida Vale need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.

How our BBQ catering works in Maida Vale
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, because there is beef, chicken and pork to choose from, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. We’re frequently asked to cater sports clubs and team events and leaving parties, with coleslaw, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers.
Around Maida Vale, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us about a rear gate, a front garden or a yard, and a photo helps us check. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Space for our vehicle nearby
As a London location, Maida Vale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Maida Vale
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Maida Vale?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Do you come to Maida Vale?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Maida Vale and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
