BBQ catering for your event in Petersham
Hosting a barbecue typically means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can spend the time with your guests. Popular choices include coleslaw, pulled pork and beef burgers, and we are regularly asked to cater charity fundraisers and team days and staff summer parties.
Gardens in Petersham tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Planning a barbecue in Petersham

Among the historic houses close to Petersham are Pembroke Lodge (0.5 miles south-east) and Ham House (0.5 miles west).

How it works
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving for as long as we have agreed. At midsummer, it’s light in Petersham until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Sausages
Grilled until golden and cooked right through, sausages are simple and satisfying.
BBQ ribs
BBQ ribs bring a sticky, glazed favourite to the table.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
Questions from Petersham
Which station is closest to Petersham?
The closest is St Margarets (London) station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can you do a barbecue in Marble Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
What do children typically eat?
Burgers and sausages are usually the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
For event organisers in Petersham
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
