Standlake questions
Is Standlake close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Standlake too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Can you do halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Standlake. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Step by step
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. Evening barbecues in Standlake need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
For event organisers in Standlake
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What comes off the grill
Sausages
Grilled until golden and cooked right through, sausages are simple and satisfying.
Beef brisket
Brisket makes a barbecue feel like a proper meal.
