BBQ catering for your event in Stepney
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Tell us about the space in Stepney and we will check it works. We are frequently asked to cater fundraising barbecues and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, with sausages, chicken skewers and coleslaw.
Gardens in Stepney tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Why choose BBQ catering in Stepney?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
As a London location, Stepney is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How we price a catered barbecue
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Site access
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
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.

Common questions in Stepney
What’s the nearest station to Stepney?
Whitechapel station, in Stepney itself.
What if our house in Stepney has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up. China is available on request.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
What comes off the grill
Beef brisket
Beef brisket is slow-cooked and sliced, for a more substantial plate.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal.

The process
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Stepney until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
