How our BBQ catering works in Woodside
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. Pick the meats that suit your guests. For garden parties and Fêtes, fairs and sports days, we can cook chicken skewers, beef brisket and coleslaw and more.
Around Woodside, 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 a picture helps us check. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Why choose BBQ catering in Woodside?
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: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Our staff serve and clear

- Let us know roughly how many children are coming

Woodside: your questions answered
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Woodside?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Could you cook in Ashburton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Should we have every meat?
Not usually. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we’ll advise on the rest.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Parking near the grill
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
As a London location, Woodside 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 booking.

The process
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Sunset in Woodside is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Gather dietary requirements early
