BBQ catering in West Norwood, cooked on site
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in West Norwood, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We serve coleslaw, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers, and we’re often booked for engagement and anniversary parties and school fairs and summer fêtes.
In a London neighbourhood like West Norwood, the big question for a barbecue is where the grill can go. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate or yard may work, and a picture helps us check. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there is no need to borrow a grill.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What BBQ catering costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
West Norwood questions
Can you do a barbecue in Long Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in West Norwood?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Is the meat halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: send us your details through our quote form.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
Can you cater in West Norwood?
Yes, West Norwood is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
As a London location, West Norwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
