BBQ catering in Windmill Hill, served hot
There’s something about a barbecue that gets people talking: the smell, the queue and the plates piled high. In Windmill Hill, we will set up where it suits your event. We serve BBQ ribs, pulled pork and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for fundraising barbecues and summer parties in the garden.
In a place like Windmill Hill, a barbecue at home is generally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What you get with us
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Our staff serve and clear
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Meat-free choices on every menu

How we price a catered barbecue
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Common questions in Windmill Hill
Can you do a barbecue in Northfleet Urban Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Windmill Hill from London?
About 21 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Use our quote form.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Windmill Hill. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Where the barbecue can go in Windmill Hill
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
