About our BBQ catering in Old Oak Common
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Tell us your rough numbers and we will plan the menu and service. Whether it is retirement do’s and Fêtes, fairs and sports days, we’ll put together a menu of beef brisket, sausages and coleslaw for your guests.
Gardens in Old Oak Common tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Questions from Old Oak Common
Could you cook in Little Wormwood Scrubs?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Old Oak Common?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What do children usually eat?
Burgers and sausages are normally the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Request gluten-free rolls
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How we price a catered barbecue
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
