How our BBQ catering works in Vanbrugh Park Estate
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Vanbrugh Park Estate: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. Typical bookings include work barbecues and summer parties in the garden, with BBQ ribs, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.
London gardens around Vanbrugh Park Estate are frequently small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
