How our BBQ catering works in South Woodford
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. For informal weddings and big birthday parties, we can cook BBQ ribs, pulled pork and halloumi skewers.
In South Woodford, the barbecue might go in a garden, a school playground or a works yard. Tell us how we get the equipment in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

What BBQ catering costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to South Woodford
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Where the barbecue can go in South Woodford
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Parking near the grill
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
As a London location, South Woodford 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.

South Woodford: your questions answered
What if our house in South Woodford has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a barbecue in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How many meats should we choose?
Not usually. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we’ll advise on the rest.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
What does the venue need to provide?

No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
