BBQ catering for your event in West Dulwich
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll plan around it. Whether it’s evening wedding food and reunions and family get-togethers, we can cook beef burgers, coleslaw and halloumi skewers for your guests.
London gardens around West Dulwich are often small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?

We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
