The process
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. Evening barbecues in South Kensington need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Your questions about a catered barbecue in South Kensington
Can you do a barbecue in Burton’s Court?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to South Kensington?
West Brompton station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Use our quote form.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.

A catered BBQ in South Kensington: what to know

PTAs at schools such as Our Lady of Victories RC Primary School frequently look for a barbecue for fairs and sports days. For anyone arriving by rail, West Brompton station, about 0.8 miles west, is the nearest station.
Here we cover the SW3, SW7 and SW10 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. Your event could be at a house on King's Road, Fulham Road and Museum Lane or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The menu, dish by dish
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, so they keep the queue moving alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is ready to serve from the start of service, so nobody waits for the grill.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with food vans, a single barbecue feeds your group together, with a menu planned around your guests. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Our staff serve and clear
- An itemised quote

What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
As a London location, South Kensington 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
