Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
BBQ catering in West Hampstead, cooked on site
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will plan around it. We’re often asked to cater family celebrations and evening wedding food, serving pulled pork, chicken skewers and beef burgers.
Gardens in West Hampstead tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
