Planning an event in Plumstead?
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
BBQ catering for your event in Plumstead
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll plan around it. Typical bookings include summer parties in the garden and reunions and family get-togethers, with pulled pork, coleslaw and sausages.
London gardens around Plumstead are frequently small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

How it works
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Plumstead until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.

- At food time, we cook and serve.

Chicken skewers
Chicken gives guests who don’t eat pork or beef a meat option.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
Plumstead is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
