Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:

  • Give us numbers for the meat-free options
  • Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
  • Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
  • Ask about allergies when guests reply

All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so there is no need to borrow a grill.

Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.

How we price a catered barbecue

We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:

  • The date and time of year
  • The journey to the venue
  • Access to the cooking area
  • Whether you want china

What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

Details that help

Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:

  • Rough numbers
  • The venue or postcode
  • Dietary requirements
  • Your date and serving time

Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.

Planning a barbecue

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

Is a barbecue right for your event?

Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Why us?

  • Planned to your running order
  • A choice of salads and potatoes
  • A clear quote with everything listed
  • Serving and clearing done for you

Common questions in Upminster Bridge

Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Upminster Bridge?

It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.

Which station is closest to Upminster Bridge?

The closest is Upminster station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

Do you offer halal meat?

We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.

Does rain stop the barbecue?

We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.

Will guests know what’s in each dish?

Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.

What do you need from the venue?

Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.

Is a barbecue good for children?

Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.

Do you bring plates?

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.

Before you choose a spot

Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:

  • The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
  • Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
  • A level lawn, patio or hard standing

Upminster Bridge 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.

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
