Questions from Woodford Wells
Can you do a barbecue in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Woodford Wells?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
Before you choose a spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
As a London location, Woodford Wells 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
