BBQ catering for your event in Rotherhithe
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Tell us your rough numbers and we will plan the menu and service. We serve BBQ ribs, beef brisket and pulled pork, and we’re often booked for leaving parties and street parties.
London gardens around Rotherhithe are often small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
As a London location, Rotherhithe 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.

Rotherhithe questions
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Rotherhithe?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.

You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.

Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
For event organisers in Rotherhithe
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Churches such as Holy Trinity Church rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby generally does. If your garden is too small, a club or hall near Rotherhithe with outdoor space frequently works.

How the day works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. By late September, sunset in Rotherhithe is about 7:05pm; in December it’s about 3:55pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Show us the space.
- We check it and send a price.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Before we arrive
