Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Purley
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Purley?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a barbecue in Dollypers Hill?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater in Purley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Purley and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
How much choice do we need?
You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
How do you handle food safety?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What BBQ catering costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- The number of people
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
About the food
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, hot off the barbecue.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. At midsummer, it’s light in Purley until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
