How our BBQ catering works in Telegraph Hill
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 Telegraph Hill and we’ll check it works. We are often asked to cater summer parties in the garden and neighbourhood parties, with beef burgers, chicken skewers and coleslaw.
In Telegraph Hill, the barbecue might go in a garden, a school playground or a works yard. Tell us how we get the equipment in. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How the day works
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. In Telegraph Hill, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Telegraph Hill
What’s the nearest station to Telegraph Hill?
Telegraph Hill has its own station: Brockley station.
What if our house in Telegraph Hill has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
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.
What meats do you barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Is the meat halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
