About our BBQ catering in Royal Docks
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. You choose the mix that suits your event. Popular choices include sausages, beef brisket and pulled pork, and we are frequently booked for cricket, football and rugby club days and leaving parties.
Around Royal Docks, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. If there is no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and a picture helps us check. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

How the day works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it is a case of cooking and serving for as long as we have agreed. Autumn and winter barbecues in Royal Docks get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating

Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.

Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.

No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
