BBQ catering in Southwood, served hot
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We serve BBQ ribs, beef burgers and sausages, and we’re regularly asked to cater engagement and anniversary parties and community fun days.
Around Southwood, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A catered barbecue fits right in, and you won’t spend it cooking. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

What comes off the grill
Pulled pork
Pulled pork in a roll with coleslaw is hard to beat, filling and easy to eat.
Sausages
Sausages go down well with younger guests.
What happens on the day
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. For an evening barbecue in Southwood, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

Southwood: your questions answered
How far is Southwood from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Ancells Farm Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Use our quote form.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is the food cooked safely?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
How we price a catered barbecue
We work out each quote from:
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask which items contain gluten
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
