BBQ catering in Ruxley, cooked on site
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll work to it. For summer parties in the garden and summer staff days, we’ll put together a menu of chicken skewers, halloumi skewers and BBQ ribs.
Around Ruxley, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us about a rear gate, a front garden or a yard, and a picture helps us check. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
Ruxley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. In Ruxley, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.

- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with ordering takeaway, a barbecue becomes part of the event, and the grill becomes a gathering point. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Add a hog roast alongside
- An itemised quote
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Timed around your day

Ruxley questions
Could you cook in Foots Cray Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Burgers and sausages are usually the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
What we serve, dish by dish
Pulled pork
Slow-cooked pork, pulled apart, and served in a soft roll, frequently with coleslaw.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes for a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The number of people
- Travel to Ruxley
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
