BBQ catering in Romford
Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
Romford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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.

BBQ catering in Romford, served hot
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Romford: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We serve beef brisket, halloumi skewers and coleslaw, and we are frequently booked for leaving and retirement parties and family celebrations.
Gardens in Romford tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

The process
We arrive in good time before service, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. Evening barbecues in Romford need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
