BBQ catering for Newington
How our BBQ catering works in Newington
With BBQ catering, the barbecue, the food and the cooking are all on us. We cook on site at your event in Newington, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. Whether it is leaving and retirement parties and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of sausages, beef brisket and beef burgers for your guests.
Around Newington, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A catered barbecue fits right in, and you will not spend it cooking. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Why choose BBQ catering in Newington?
Instead of a takeaway delivery, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, and the grill becomes a gathering point. What you choose to eat matters most: 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.
What you get with us
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Serving and clearing done for you

Newington: your questions answered
Is Newington close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How many meats should we choose?
Not usually. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we will advise on the rest.

We bring plates and clear up after service.

Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
Do you label the food for allergies?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
How the day works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. For an evening barbecue in Newington, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
How to get a price
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.
