What happens on the day
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. For an evening barbecue in Three Mills, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests

How our BBQ catering works in Three Mills
There’s something about a barbecue that gets people talking: the smell, the queue and the plates piled high. In Three Mills, we will set up where it suits your event. Typical bookings include street parties and sports clubs and team events, serving halloumi skewers, pulled pork and sausages.
London gardens around Three Mills are often small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

How we price a catered barbecue
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Three Mills
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Three Mills?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a barbecue in Bob's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
How much choice do we need?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Let us know how many to expect.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
