What affects the price in Single Street
Things that change the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
BBQ catering in Single Street, served hot
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We serve beef burgers, sausages and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a London neighbourhood like Single Street, 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. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Single Street
Which station is closest to Single Street?
The closest is Chelsfield station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.

As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
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.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Parking near the grill
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
Single Street 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 photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. By late September, sunset in Single Street is about 7:05pm; in December it is about 3:55pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Name a contact for the day
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
