Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
After service, our staff clear up, leaving the spot tidy.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.

The process
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Sunset in Speenhamland is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Let us know about children’s numbers

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Speenhamland
How far is Speenhamland from London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Can you do a barbecue in Victoria Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we’ll advise on the rest.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are generally easier to get. Fill in our quote form.
What meats do you barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service. Ask if you’d like china.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
A closer look at the menu
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is slow-cooked until it falls apart, and served in a soft roll, frequently with coleslaw.
Beef burgers
A burger is the barbecue classic, and they’re a safe bet for children and adults alike.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
