How our BBQ catering works in Mitcham
Some hosts in Mitcham pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. We can quote for either or both. For big birthday parties and engagement and anniversary parties, we’ll put together a menu of BBQ ribs, beef burgers and sausages and more.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, barbecues in Mitcham come in all shapes. Tell us how we get the equipment in. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

The process
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. Sunset in Mitcham is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

FAQs for Mitcham
Could you cook in Cranmer Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Mitcham?
The closest is Mitcham Eastfields station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Should we have every meat?
Not generally. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
How do you handle food safety?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Is the meat halal?
We do not. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
