BBQ catering for your event in Stratford
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll work to it. We’re often asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and family celebrations, with beef brisket, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers.
In Stratford, the barbecue might go in a garden, a school playground or a works yard. Let us know about the route in. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a row of street-food vans, one catered barbecue keeps everyone eating together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Questions from Stratford
What if our house in Stratford has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Could you cook in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there is enough.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service. China is available on request.
What does the venue need to provide?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Autumn and winter barbecues in Stratford get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
