BBQ catering for your event in Tufnell Park
Whether it is twenty friends in a garden or a whole workforce in a car park, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Give us an idea of numbers and we will suggest a menu. Whether it is school fairs and summer fêtes and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, pulled pork and sausages.
London gardens around Tufnell Park are frequently small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
After service, our staff clear up, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
What affects the price in Tufnell Park
The biggest factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
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. Autumn and winter barbecues in Tufnell Park get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
- Think about shelter for your guests
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or NW5 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table

Tufnell Park: your questions answered
What if our house in Tufnell Park has no side access?

Upper Holloway station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you cover Tufnell Park?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Tufnell Park and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
