- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day

Common questions in West Hill
Can you do a barbecue in St. Ann's Well Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is West Hill close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
Can you do halal?
We don’t. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Should we have every meat?
You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Do you come to West Hill?
Yes, West Hill is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
What we serve, dish by dish
Sausages
Cooked through and browned on the grill, sausages are simple and satisfying.
