BBQ catering in St Paul's Cray, served hot
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, because there is beef, chicken and pork to choose from, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. Popular choices include pulled pork, beef brisket and chicken skewers, and typical bookings are for leaving and retirement parties and summer staff days.
Around St Paul's Cray, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and send us a photo. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Questions from St Paul's Cray
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What if our house in St Paul's Cray has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.

Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Plan shelter for your guests.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Do you need anything from us?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Instead of a takeaway delivery, a barbecue becomes part of the event, with the smell drawing people over. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Meat-free choices on every menu
