Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Old Coulsdon?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Dollypers Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, Old Coulsdon and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.
Will children like the BBQ?
Typically, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
