How our BBQ catering works in Silvertown
Whether it’s twenty friends in a garden or a whole workforce in a car park, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Give us an idea of numbers and we’ll suggest a menu. We are frequently asked to cater club open days and summer staff days, serving pulled pork, chicken skewers and BBQ ribs.
In Silvertown, the barbecue might go in a garden, a school playground or a works yard. Tell us how we get the equipment in. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Silvertown: your questions answered
What if our house in Silvertown has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What’s the nearest station to Silvertown?
Custom House station, about 0.7 miles north of the centre.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
What do children usually eat?
Normally, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Step by step
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. For an evening barbecue in Silvertown, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Send final numbers in good time
