BBQ catering in Richmond, cooked on site
There’s something about a barbecue that gets people talking: the smell, the queue and the plates piled high. We will find the right spot at your venue in Richmond. Whether it is retirement do’s and engagement and anniversary parties, we can cook beef brisket, coleslaw and BBQ ribs for your guests.
London gardens around Richmond are often small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
What comes off the grill
Beef brisket
Brisket is a favourite with people who like their beef, in a roll or with sides.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.

Richmond: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Richmond?
The closest is Richmond station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What if our house in Richmond has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
What does the venue need to provide?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Let us know how many to expect.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Richmond
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning a barbecue in Richmond
Richmond is about 5 miles south-west of Kensington, in Greater London. Hosts in Richmond book us for events of all sizes. We cater all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. You can also see our page for London, about 9 miles away.
Thinking of a barbecue in Terrace and Buccleuch Gardens? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, usually the council’s. No room at home? A club near Richmond with a terrace or field can be a good alternative.
Anywhere in TW9, TW1 and TW10, we can bring the barbecue to you. Whether your event is on Kew Road, Dee Road and Park Road or anywhere nearby, we will bring the barbecue to you. We also bring barbecues to events in Petersham (1 mile south), St Margarets (1 mile west), Eel Pie Island (1 mile south-west), Ham (1 mile south) and Isleworth (2 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include London (9 miles east), City of Westminster (8 miles north-east), Marylebone (8 miles north-east), Kensington (5 miles north-east), St Pancras (9 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (11 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find South Middlesex Hospital (1.6 miles west) and Eel Pie Island Museum (1.2 miles south-west). Within reach you will find Richmond Hill and Ham Lands.

- Nearby, you will find The Victoria pub (within half a mile north-west)
- Local facilities include Municipal Borough of Heston and Isleworth (2.3 miles north-west)
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a fixed venue menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Six meats to choose from
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
Planning the cooking spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
As a London location, Richmond is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
