Upper Norwood: your questions answered
Could you cook in Long Meadow?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Upper Norwood?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Is the food cooked safely?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How the day works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. Evening barbecues in Upper Norwood need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

What else we do in Upper Norwood
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
As a London location, Upper Norwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
