Book a BBQ in The City
Step by step
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. For an evening barbecue in The City, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- 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 are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Send final numbers in good time

How our BBQ catering works in The City
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. On the menu are coleslaw, beef brisket and beef burgers, and we are regularly asked to cater work barbecues and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays.
In a small place like The City, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

A closer look at the menu
Chicken skewers
For anyone avoiding pork or beef, chicken skewers are the answer, cooked until it is hot all the way through.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
How we price a catered barbecue
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
