Step by step

- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.

Questions from Shacklewell
Can you do a barbecue in Stoke Newington Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Shacklewell?
Rectory Road station, in Shacklewell itself.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Usually, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
Where the barbecue can go in Shacklewell
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
As a London location, Shacklewell is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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.
