Questions from Sidcup
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Sidcup?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a barbecue in Waring Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What meats do you barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What do children generally eat?
Burgers and sausages are usually the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
BBQ catering in Sidcup, served hot
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Tell us about the space in Sidcup and we will check it works. Typical bookings include fundraising days and team days and staff summer parties, with halloumi skewers, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers.
Gardens in Sidcup tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or DA14 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us about children’s numbers
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
What the cooking area needs
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
As a London location, Sidcup 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
