Common questions in Thames View Estate
Can you do a barbecue in Mayesbrook Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Thames View Estate?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What do children normally eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
BBQ catering in Thames View Estate, cooked on site
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Thames View Estate: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. On the menu are pulled pork, coleslaw and beef brisket, and we are regularly asked to cater neighbourhood parties and garden parties.
In a London neighbourhood like Thames View Estate, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and send us a photo. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

The process
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. Evening barbecues in Thames View Estate need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
