Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
BBQ catering in Southgate, served hot
Hosting a barbecue generally means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. Whether it is work barbecues and engagement and anniversary parties, we can cook beef burgers, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers.
Gardens in Southgate tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Southgate
- Plates or china
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Step by step
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. In Southgate, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
- Choose the menu a week or so before

What comes off the grill
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Beef brisket
Beef brisket is slow-cooked and sliced, for a more substantial plate.

FAQs for Southgate
Could you cook in Grovelands Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if our house in Southgate has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Do you need anything from us?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What meats do you barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Space for our vehicle nearby
As a London location, Southgate 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 before you book.
