About our BBQ catering in St Luke's
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. On the menu are sausages, pulled pork and beef burgers, and we are frequently booked for sports clubs and team events and leaving and retirement parties.
Gardens in St Luke's tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
St Luke's: your questions answered
What if our house in St Luke's has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a barbecue in Artillery Ground?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
What do children usually eat?
Burgers and sausages are typically the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.

Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, which helps at busy times alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Why choose BBQ catering in St Luke's?
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why St Luke's hosts choose us
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Timed around your day
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
See our pricing or BBQ menu ideas.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
As a London location, St Luke's is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Step by step
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. In St Luke's, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose the menu a week or so before

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What affects the price in St Luke's
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
