Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

- The date and when you’d like to eat

Where the barbecue can go in Mapesbury
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
As a London location, Mapesbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Mapesbury
Could you cook in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Mapesbury?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
When should we book BBQ catering?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are generally easier to get. Use our quote form.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. In Mapesbury, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Preparing for the day

- Include children in your numbers
- Send final numbers in good time

Planning help
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Six meats to choose from
