BBQ catering for Mill Meads
BBQ catering in Mill Meads, cooked on site
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, because there is beef, chicken and pork to choose from, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. Typical bookings include back-garden get-togethers and team days and staff summer parties, serving BBQ ribs, coleslaw and chicken skewers.
Gardens in Mill Meads tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Mill Meads questions
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Mill Meads?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a barbecue in Bob's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Can you cater in Mill Meads?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Mill Meads and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
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. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
A closer look at the menu
Beef brisket
Brisket is a favourite with people who like their beef, served on a plate or in a roll.
Sausages
Cooked through and browned on the grill, sausages are simple and satisfying.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Step by step
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. At midsummer, it is light in Mill Meads until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests

How we price a catered barbecue
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a DIY barbecue, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the cooking is in experienced hands. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book our barbecue in Mill Meads
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like

- 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays

Before booking anyone
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- Whether travel is included
- Plates, china and cutlery

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
Mill Meads 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
