In a place like Temple Hill, a barbecue at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.

Common questions in Temple Hill
How far is Temple Hill from London?

Can you do a barbecue in Central Park?

Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Usually, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
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. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
For event organisers in Temple Hill
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Step by step
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. By late September, sunset in Temple Hill is about 7:05pm; in December it’s about 3:50pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Name a contact for the day
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
