Barbecues in Nunhead: gardens, clubs and local tips
Nunhead is about 1 mile south-west of New Cross, in Greater London. Nunhead is well within our area for events and the places nearby. Nunhead is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as Ivydale Primary School, often want a barbecue. A green space like Peckham Rye is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so.
For events in SE15, SE4 and SE14, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and roughly how many guests. Whether your event is on Rye Road, Nash Road and Kitto Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the barbecue to you. We also bring barbecues to events in Telegraph Hill (1 mile north-east), Honor Oak (1 mile south), Peckham (1 mile north-west), New Cross (1 mile north-east) and Brockley (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include London (3 miles north-west), City of Westminster (6 miles north-west), Marylebone (6 miles north-west), Kensington (7 miles west), St Pancras (5 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (5 miles north).
Well-known places in the area include Greenwich Castle (2.4 miles north-east) and Lewisham Shopping Centre (1.7 miles east). Open spaces near Nunhead include Knight's Hill and One Tree Hill.
- Schools near Nunhead include Harris Girls' Academy East Dulwich (within half a mile south-west) and Allenby Tutorial Trust (1.3 miles south)
- Pubs nearby include The Ivy House (less than half a mile south)
The process
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Autumn and winter barbecues in Nunhead get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Name a contact for the day

For event organisers in Nunhead
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Nunhead: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Nunhead?
Nunhead station, in Nunhead itself.
Can you do a barbecue in Peckham Rye?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you do halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
