Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
BBQ catering for your event in Westminster
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We serve coleslaw, beef burgers and chicken skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and close and cul-de-sac parties.
Around Westminster, most London barbecues are in back gardens, yards, courtyards and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us about a rear gate, a front garden or a yard, and send us a picture. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
FAQs for Westminster
Can you do a barbecue in St James's 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.
What if our house in Westminster has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Should we have every meat?
Not typically. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
What does the venue need to provide?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Usually, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard

How we price a catered barbecue
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.

What comes off the grill
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, so they keep the queue moving.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Westminster is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How the day works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. A summer barbecue in Westminster stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
