What BBQ catering costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
BBQ catering for your event in Upton
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, because there’s beef, chicken and pork to choose from, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. On the menu are beef burgers, sausages and pulled pork, and we’re often booked for reunions and family get-togethers and school fairs and summer fêtes.
Gardens in Upton tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

A catered BBQ in Upton: what to know
Upton is about 1 mile north of Plaistow, in Greater London. We cover Upton and its neighbours for events. We bring barbecues to all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. You can also see our page for London, about 6 miles away.
If your garden is too small, a club or hall near Upton with outdoor space often works. If guests are travelling by rail, Forest Gate station, about 0.8 miles north, is the nearest station.
For events in E7, E13 and E15, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include May Road, West Road and Park Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. Nearby, we also cater events in Upton Park (1 mile south-east), Greengate (1 mile south), West Ham (1 mile south-west), Forest Gate (1 mile north) and Plashet (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (6 miles south-west), City of Westminster (8 miles west), Marylebone (8 miles west), Kensington (10 miles west), St Pancras (6 miles west) and Shoreditch (5 miles west).

The process
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Upton until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.
- Show us the space.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating

Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- A clear way in from where we park
- A spot well clear of buildings
As a London location, Upton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Upton questions
What’s the nearest station to Upton?
The closest is Forest Gate station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Could you cook in West Ham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: use our quote form.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
What we serve, dish by dish
Sausages
Children usually head straight for the sausages, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
BBQ ribs
Ribs are a favourite with keen barbecue fans.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What you get with us
- Six meats to choose from
- An itemised quote
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Sides to make it a full meal
