Event catering in Aldwych
Event catering in Aldwych, cooked on site
We cater weddings, parties, staff days and community events across Aldwych. The menu changes with the occasion, but the approach is the same: cooked on site, served hot, cleared away afterwards. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and school events and work Christmas parties.
In a London neighbourhood like Aldwych, access is the first thing caterers ask about. We cook outdoors, so we need a garden, yard, courtyard or car park with a way in for our equipment. Send us a picture. 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.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Tell us about children’s numbers
After service, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Add sides for a proper meal.

What else we do in Aldwych
Hog roast, BBQ or something else?
Next to a drop-off caterer, we stay, cook and serve, then clear the serving area. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Aldwych hosts choose us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- A hog roast, a barbecue or both
- Served at the time you choose
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Your questions about caterers in Aldwych
Can you do a hog roast in Lincoln's Inn Fields?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Aldwych?
The closest is London Charing Cross station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
We do. Every menu includes meat-free options, cooked separately from the meat.
Do you need a kitchen at the venue?
No. All the cooking happens outside, under cover, which is why we can cater almost anywhere.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Are you a full-service caterer?
Hog roast and BBQ catering is what we do, with sides and vegetarian and vegan options. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest the food.
How far ahead should we book caterers?
As soon as your date is fixed. Short notice is still worth a try: send us your details through our quote form.
What we cook
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
