Thamesmead questions
Could you cook in Abbey Wood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Thamesmead?
Abbey Wood station, about 1 mile south of the centre.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you cover Thamesmead?
Yes, Thamesmead is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.

What happens on the day
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, so nobody waits for the first round. For an evening barbecue in Thamesmead, think about light: 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.
