A barbecue near South Chingford

What we serve, dish by dish

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

BBQ ribs

Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu; have napkins ready.

BBQ catering in South Chingford, cooked on site

From a small family gathering to a big club day, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Give us an idea of numbers and we’ll suggest a menu. For big birthday parties and fundraising days, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, coleslaw and beef brisket.

In a London neighbourhood like South Chingford, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us about a rear gate, a front garden or a yard, and send us a photo. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Common questions in South Chingford

What’s the nearest station to South Chingford?

Meridian Water station, about 1 mile west of the centre.

Could you cook in Lloyd Park?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

How many meats should we choose?

You do not need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.

Is barbecued chicken safe?

Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.

Will children like the BBQ?

Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.

Do you leave the area tidy?

Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?

We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.

Before you choose a spot

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:

  • Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
  • A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
  • Space for the barbecue and a serving table

As a London location, South Chingford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How to plan a catered barbecue

Diets, allergies and alternatives

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

  • Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
  • Mention any guests who avoid beef
  • Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
  • Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice

All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.

Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.

For planners, venues and organisers

If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.

How it works

If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. At midsummer, it’s light in South Chingford until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.

  1. Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
  2. We check the cooking spot and quote.
  3. We set up under cover before service.
  4. Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
  5. We tidy up and pack away.

Preparing for the day

  • Include children in your numbers
  • Confirm your menu choices in good time
  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

A catered barbecue compared with other options

Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it does not need a kitchen. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Why South Chingford hosts choose us

  • Our staff serve and clear
  • Six meats to choose from
