BBQ catering for your event in Plaistow
In Plaistow, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. On the menu are pulled pork, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers, and typical bookings are for family celebrations and Fêtes, fairs and sports days.
Around Plaistow, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and a photo helps us check. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
As a London location, Plaistow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

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. Autumn and winter barbecues in Plaistow get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening

A barbecue or other catering?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
