Caterers in Bloomsbury
For event organisers in Bloomsbury
If you are organising for someone else, 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 you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event catering in Bloomsbury, cooked on site
Our catering doesn’t need a kitchen at the venue: we cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you. That makes gardens, fields, car parks and marquees all possible. Typical bookings include care home summer events and Fêtes, fairs and school events, with beef brisket, rotisserie chicken and pulled pork.
Events in Bloomsbury range from back-garden birthdays to office courtyards and school fairs. London gardens are frequently compact, so we look for a spot clear of fences and windows. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to.

How we compare with other caterers
Compared with a formal plated meal, our food is relaxed and generous, but it can still be served on plates with sides. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- No surprises: everything in writing
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Served at the time you choose
Bloomsbury questions
What if our house in Bloomsbury has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What’s the nearest station to Bloomsbury?
The closest is London Euston station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Is our event too small?
Share your numbers and we will advise, with no obligation.
Which menu suits our event?
That depends on who’s coming: a hog roast suits a crowd, a barbecue suits mixed tastes. Tell us about the event and we will suggest one.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. There is always a vegetarian and a vegan choice.
Are you a full-service caterer?
Hog roast and BBQ catering is what we do, plus salads, potatoes and meat-free choices. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest the food.
Can we have something other than a hog roast?
No: there’s a full barbecue menu as well.
Can you serve inside?
We always cook outside, but food can be served indoors if the venue is happy.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a serving table and a queue
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
Bloomsbury 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Our staff keep the serving table tidy through service, so it looks as good at the end as at the start.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catering an event in Bloomsbury
Bloomsbury is about 1 mile north-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Events in Bloomsbury are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Bloomsbury is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater.
Parks such as Lincoln's Inn Fields generally need council permission for caterers, so check first. PTAs at schools like UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies often look for hot food for fundraisers.
Wherever your event is in NW1W, W1T and NW1, we can roast on site for your guests. Streets in the area include Drury Lane, Euston Road and Duke's Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. With the A401 and A501 close by, Bloomsbury is simple for us to get to. For events just outside Bloomsbury, we cover St Pancras (1 mile north-east), City of Westminster (1 mile south-west), Islington (1 mile north-east), Marylebone (1 mile west) and Covent Garden (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Kensington (4 miles south-west), Walthamstow (6 miles north-east), Hampstead (3 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west), Brompton (3 miles south-west) and Stockwell (4 miles south).

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Bloomsbury
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Step by step
With a hog roast, the meat is ready to carve; with a barbecue, it comes straight off the grill. Either way, we serve and tidy up. Evening events in Bloomsbury need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- First, you send us the occasion, date, venue and numbers.
- We recommend a menu and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Send final numbers in good time
