How our BBQ catering works in Mile End
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Tell us your rough numbers and we will plan the menu and service. We’re often asked to cater summer staff days and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, with beef brisket, BBQ ribs and halloumi skewers.
In a London neighbourhood like Mile End, 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. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

Common questions in Mile End
What if our house in Mile End has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a barbecue in Mile End Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
What meats do you barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
How many meats should we choose?
You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Mile End. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
The process
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. Evening barbecues in Mile End need a little planning: 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 get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Before we arrive

Where the barbecue can go in Mile End
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
Mile End 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.
