  • Season and day of the week
  • Travel to Totteridge

Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

Details that help

  • The date and time of the event
  • Where the event is
  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • An estimate of numbers

BBQ catering in Totteridge, cooked on site

In Totteridge, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. For retirement do’s and engagement and anniversary parties, we can cook halloumi skewers, pulled pork and beef burgers for your guests.

Gardens in Totteridge tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

Before you choose a spot

A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:

  • A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
  • A green light from whoever owns the site
  • A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive

Totteridge 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

  • Mention any guests who avoid beef
  • Ask about allergies when guests reply
  • Ask which items contain gluten
  • Give us numbers for the meat-free options

We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.

For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.

For planners, venues and organisers

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.

A closer look at the menu

Common questions in Totteridge

Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Totteridge?

Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What’s the nearest station to Totteridge?

The closest is Oakleigh Park station, roughly 1.5 miles away.

Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?

We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.

What do children typically eat?

Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.

Do you do barbecues out of season?

We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.

How to plan a catered barbecue

How it works

We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then our chef cooks and the team serves for as long as we have agreed. Evening barbecues in Totteridge need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

  1. Show us the space.
  2. We confirm it works and send a quote.
  3. We grill outdoors at your event.
  4. We serve as your guests come up.
  5. We clear up so you do not have to.

How to prepare

  • Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
  • Let us know about children’s numbers
  • Choose someone to meet us on arrival
