About our event catering in Barnet
A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece; a barbecue gives more variety. Plenty of events in Barnet have both, and we’ll help you decide. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with beef burgers, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
For a London event in Barnet, tell us about steps, gates and parking: where we can unload, and how we reach the cooking spot. We’ll take it from there. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Choosing caterers near Barnet
Barnet is in Greater London. We cover events in Barnet. We cater 764 places in Greater London. You can also see our page for London, about 11 miles away.
If you had Highlands Gardens in mind, ask the council or landowner before booking caterers. Churches such as St John's United Reformed Church rarely have room to cook, but a hall or garden nearby generally does.
Wherever your event is in EN5, EN4, N20 and N11, we can bring the roaster to you. Streets in the area include Station Road, High Street and Sambroke Square, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Barnet is on the B193 and A1081, which makes the journey straightforward.

Why choose us as your caterers in Barnet?
Compared with a traditional caterer, our food is hearty and informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue, which suits outdoor and informal events. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Cooked where you are

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
On the day, we arrive in good time and set up under cover, on the spot we agreed.

FAQs for Barnet
Which station is closest to Barnet?
New Barnet station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
Could you cook in Highlands Gardens?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do small parties?
Tell us your numbers and we will suggest what works. For smaller numbers, a barbecue is frequently the best fit.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes. We’re happy to agree access, timings and the cooking spot with your venue or planner.
Hog roast or BBQ: which is better?
A hog roast is the showpiece; a barbecue gives more variety. Many bigger events have both.
Do you supply china?
We bring plates; china is extra and on request.
Do you cater weddings and work events?
Everything from weddings and parties to staff days, fêtes, wakes and film sets.
What catering costs
Each price is built from:
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and trees
- Enough room for people to queue
Barnet is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
