BBQ catering for your event in South Acton
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, because there is beef, chicken and pork to choose from, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. Typical bookings include club open days and work barbecues, with chicken skewers, BBQ ribs and halloumi skewers.
Gardens in South Acton tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Planning the cooking spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
As a London location, South Acton 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.

A closer look at the menu
Sausages
Grilled until golden and cooked right through, they’re the easy crowd-pleaser.
Chicken skewers
Chicken skewers are grilled on site, for guests who prefer chicken.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. At midsummer, it is light in South Acton until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

South Acton questions
Could you cook in Gunnersbury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to South Acton?
South Acton station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Why us?
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Add a hog roast alongside

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
