BBQ catering for your event in Russell Hill

London gardens around Russell Hill are frequently 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.

A catered BBQ in Russell Hill: what to know
Russell Hill is about 1 mile north of Purley, in Greater London. Thinking about a catered barbecue in Russell Hill? We cover the whole area. Russell Hill is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater. Our nearest city page is London, about 10 miles away.
If your garden is too small, a club or hall near Russell Hill with outdoor space often works. Thinking of a barbecue in Duppas Hill? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, usually the council’s.
Wherever your event is in SM6, CR8 and CR0, we can bring the barbecue to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can cater an event on streets such as Link Lane, Hawker Road and Redwing Road or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the barbecue. Nearby, we also cater events in Roundshaw (1 mile west), Peaks Hill (1 mile south), Bandonhill (1 mile north), Waddon (1 mile north-east) and Purley (1 mile south).

- Nearby schools include Wilson's School (less than half a mile north) and The John Fisher School (0.6 miles south-west)
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- Six meats to choose from
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option

Questions from Russell Hill
Could you cook in Duppas Hill?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Russell Hill has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
As a London location, Russell Hill 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’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
