How our BBQ catering works in Woodside Park
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Give us an idea of numbers and we’ll suggest a menu. Typical bookings include evening wedding food and cricket, football and rugby club days, serving BBQ ribs, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
Gardens in Woodside Park tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Woodside Park
What’s the nearest station to Woodside Park?
Oakleigh Park station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Could you cook in Swan Lane Open Space?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Should we have every meat?
Not generally. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order. 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. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Our chef at the grill, not you

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
As a London location, Woodside Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
How the day works
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. A summer barbecue in Woodside Park 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.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
How to get a price
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or N12 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
