The Hale: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue in Stoneyfields Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to The Hale?
Mill Hill Broadway station, about 0.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you cover The Hale?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, The Hale and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
About our BBQ catering in The Hale
Hosting a barbecue normally means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can enjoy your own event. For summer parties in the garden and neighbourhood parties, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and coleslaw and more.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, barbecues in The Hale come in all shapes. Let us know about the route in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
The Hale is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. By late September, sunset in The Hale is about 7:05pm; in December it is about 3:55pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
