A barbecue near Upper Clapton

BBQ catering in Upper Clapton, served hot

A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. Whether it is fundraising days and reunions and family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of beef burgers, BBQ ribs and pulled pork and more.

From a family garden to an office courtyard, barbecues in Upper Clapton come in all shapes. Let us know about the route in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

What comes off the grill

Beef burgers

Burgers cook quickly on the grill, so they keep the queue moving.

Sausages

Cooked through and browned on the grill, sausages are simple and satisfying.

For planners, venues and organisers

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

Common questions in Upper Clapton

Could you cook in Springfield Park?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.

Which station is closest to Upper Clapton?

The closest is Clapton station, roughly 0.6 miles away.

How soon do barbecue dates go?

The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Fill in our quote form.

Will you clear up afterwards?

We bring plates and clear up after service.

Is BBQ catering only for summer?

Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.

Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

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.

Does rain stop the barbecue?

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

What BBQ catering costs

There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:

  • Plates or china
  • Season and day of the week
  • Access to the cooking area
  • Travel to Upper Clapton

Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

What to tell us

For a quick, accurate price, tell us:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • Allergies we should know about
  • An estimate of numbers

A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.

What happens on the day

The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. Autumn and winter barbecues in Upper Clapton get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

  1. Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
  2. We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
  3. We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
  4. At food time, we cook and serve.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
