FAQs for Orpington
Which station is closest to Orpington?
The closest is St Mary Cray station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
What if our house in Orpington has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you need anything from us?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you label the food for allergies?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Do you cover Orpington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Orpington and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
As a London location, Orpington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

How we price a catered barbecue
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

How it works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. By late September, sunset in Orpington is about 7:05pm; in December it is about 3:55pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
How to get a price
