About our BBQ catering in Waltham Forest
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We serve halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and pulled pork, and we’re frequently booked for engagement and anniversary parties and informal weddings.
In a London neighbourhood like Waltham Forest, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and send us a picture. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Step by step

- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day

Waltham Forest: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue in Linder's Field?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Waltham Forest?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
What do children usually eat?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
Should we have every meat?
You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we will advise on the rest.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
Is the meat halal?
We do not. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
Where the barbecue can go in Waltham Forest
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
As a London location, Waltham Forest is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Six meats to choose from
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Sides to make it a full meal
