Is Trash Green close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Is the food cooked safely?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are usually easier to get. Fill in our quote form.
