About our BBQ catering in Upminster
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We’re frequently asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and street parties, serving pulled pork, chicken skewers and coleslaw.
Around Upminster, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. If there is no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and a photo helps us check. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Where the barbecue can go in Upminster
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
As a London location, Upminster is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
