Questions from Stanmore
Could you cook in St. Cross Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Stanmore from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
The process
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. In Stanmore, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
