Questions from Parker's Green
Is Parker's Green too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Parker's Green from London?
About 26 miles from central London.
Do you need anything from us?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.
