Mockbeggar: your questions answered
How far is Mockbeggar from London?
About 26 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Mockbeggar?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service. China is available on request.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
Running late? Let us know, and we will work around it where possible.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Planning the cooking spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
