Common questions in Well Street
Can you do a barbecue in Manor Park Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Well Street from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
How much choice do we need?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Fill in our quote form.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Do you cover Well Street?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.

What else we do in Well Street
What we serve, dish by dish
Chicken skewers
Chicken gives guests who don’t eat pork or beef a meat option, cooked until it’s hot all the way through.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with ordering takeaway, a barbecue becomes part of the event, and the grill becomes a gathering point. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard

How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. By late September, sunset in Well Street is about 7:00pm; in December it’s about 3:50pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
