Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Where the barbecue can go in Patching
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A clear way in from where we park
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How it works
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. Autumn and winter barbecues in Patching get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
How to prepare

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Our staff serve and clear
- Timed around your day
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Patching: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Patching?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a barbecue in Clapham Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you do halal?
We do not. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
How many meats should we choose?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we’ll advise on the rest.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Do you label the food for allergies?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.

- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
