How our BBQ catering works in Upper Ruxley
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. You choose the mix that suits your event. On the menu are coleslaw, beef burgers and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and close and cul-de-sac parties.
London gardens around Upper Ruxley are frequently small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Organising for someone else?
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.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Common questions in Upper Ruxley
Could you cook in Foots Cray Meadows?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Upper Ruxley?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cater in Upper Ruxley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Upper Ruxley and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you need anything from us?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Should we have every meat?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we’ll advise on the rest.
Do you label the food for allergies?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
