How our BBQ catering works in Oakleigh Park
In Oakleigh Park, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. For club open days and evening wedding food, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, sausages and coleslaw for your guests.
Around Oakleigh Park, 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. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Common questions in Oakleigh Park
Can you do a barbecue in Swan Lane Open Space?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Oakleigh Park?
The closest is Oakleigh Park station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Can you cater in Oakleigh Park?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Oakleigh Park and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
