How our BBQ catering works in New Cross
With BBQ catering, the barbecue, the food and the cooking are all on us. Our chef grills on site in New Cross, under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. On the menu are pulled pork, BBQ ribs and beef brisket, and typical bookings are for charity fundraisers and engagement and anniversary parties.
Around New Cross, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. 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 tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

New Cross questions
What if our house in New Cross has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a barbecue in Fordham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you cover New Cross?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including New Cross and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Fill in our quote form.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
A closer look at the menu
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, hot off the barbecue.
Beef brisket
Slow-cooked beef brisket, sliced to serve, for a more substantial plate.
The process
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. Autumn and winter barbecues in New Cross get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Site access
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
New Cross is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
