About our BBQ catering in Strood Green

On the menu are halloumi skewers, sausages and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for Fêtes, fairs and sports days and big birthday parties.

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. In Strood Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, which keeps the queue moving.
