BBQ catering in Merton Park, cooked on site
Hosting a barbecue typically means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. On the menu are beef burgers, chicken skewers and BBQ ribs, and typical bookings are for cricket, football and rugby club days and informal weddings.
In a London neighbourhood like Merton Park, 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 photo helps us check. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Where the barbecue can go in Merton Park
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- A clear way in from where we park
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
As a London location, Merton Park 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
