BBQ catering in Wennington, cooked on site
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Wennington, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We’re frequently asked to cater street parties and garden parties, serving beef burgers, BBQ ribs and pulled pork.
London gardens around Wennington are often small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Parking near the grill
Wennington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Wennington: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue in Wildspace Conservation Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Wennington?
The closest is Rainham (Essex) station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service. Ask if you’d like china.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

How it works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. For an evening barbecue in Wennington, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
