Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Timed around your day
- Serving and clearing done for you
- No surprises: everything in writing

BBQ catering for your event in Plaistow
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. Our chef grills on site in Plaistow, under cover, and our staff serve and clear. On the menu are BBQ ribs, beef burgers and sausages, and typical bookings are for cricket, football and rugby club days and fundraising days.
London gardens around Plaistow are frequently small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels.

Plaistow questions
What’s the nearest station to Plaistow?
The closest is Sundridge Park station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What if our house in Plaistow has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
What do you need from the venue?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Plaistow. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.

Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.

How the day works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. A summer barbecue in Plaistow stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
