BBQ catering in Tower Hamlets, served hot
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We serve beef burgers, BBQ ribs and sausages, and we are regularly asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and work barbecues.
For a barbecue in Tower Hamlets, the garden is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
About the food
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Coleslaw is the natural partner for pulled pork, while salads keep it light.
Sausages
Children normally head straight for the sausages, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
Tower Hamlets questions
What’s the nearest station to Tower Hamlets?
Tower Hamlets has its own station: Dover Priory station.
Can you do a barbecue in High Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
Should we have every meat?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Step by step
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. In Tower Hamlets, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
