About our BBQ catering in Shoreditch
For bigger events in Shoreditch, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Popular choices include coleslaw, beef burgers and BBQ ribs, and typical bookings are for charity fundraisers and summer staff days.
In a London neighbourhood like Shoreditch, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. If there is no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and send us a picture. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Where the barbecue can go in Shoreditch
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Parking near the grill
As a London location, Shoreditch 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.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Common questions in Shoreditch
Which station is closest to Shoreditch?
Shoreditch High Street station, in Shoreditch itself.
Could you cook in Artillery Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Fill in our quote form.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service. China is available on request.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
How the day works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. In Shoreditch, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
