BBQ catering in Southborough
How our BBQ catering works in Southborough
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, well clear of walls, marquee sides and trees. Tell us about the space in Southborough and we will check it works. We’re often asked to cater big birthday parties and neighbourhood parties, serving coleslaw, beef burgers and sausages.
In a London neighbourhood like Southborough, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and a picture helps us check. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A clear way in from where we park
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
Southborough 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.

How it works
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. A summer barbecue in Southborough stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.

Southborough: your questions answered
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Southborough?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a barbecue in Jubilee Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What do children generally eat?
Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Southborough. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.
How many meats should we choose?
Not typically. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
- Cooked on site by our chef, outdoors under cover
- Burgers, sausages and chicken, plus ribs, pulled pork and brisket
- Meat-free choices cooked separately
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
