BBQ catering in Southwark, served hot
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will plan around it. Whether it’s leaving parties and team days and staff summer parties, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, BBQ ribs and beef brisket.
In a London neighbourhood like Southwark, 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. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
Common questions in Southwark
What’s the nearest station to Southwark?
Elephant & Castle station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
What if our house in Southwark has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you need anything from us?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We’ll check anything else with you.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
When should we book BBQ catering?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are usually easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
Southwark 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.
