Burnt Oak: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Burnt Oak?
The closest is Mill Hill Broadway station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Could you cook in Watling Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Are you a full-service caterer?
We’re a mobile catering company that cooks on site: a hog roast, a barbecue or both, with vegetarian and vegan options. Our staff serve and clear.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you cater weddings and work events?
Everything from weddings and parties to staff days, fêtes, wakes and film sets.
Do you do small parties?
Send us the details and we will tell you honestly what fits. For smaller numbers, a barbecue is often the best fit.
Is crockery included?
Plates are standard. China is available on request.
Event catering in Burnt Oak, served hot
We are a mobile catering company: we bring the kitchen to you. In Burnt Oak, that means a hog roast, a barbecue or both, cooked outdoors under cover at your venue, with our staff serving and clearing. Whether it’s garden parties and weddings, we will put together a menu of beef brisket, halloumi skewers and pulled pork for your guests.
Getting our equipment into a London venue in Burnt Oak needs a little planning: parking for our vehicle and a route to the cooking spot. We will take it from there. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is what matters most. Here’s what helps:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Room for a serving table and a queue
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
Burnt Oak 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.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
When everyone has eaten, our staff tidy up, so there’s very little left to do.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
How it works
Your serving time sets our timings: a hog roast needs us there hours ahead, a barbecue a little less. Either way, food is ready when you are. In Burnt Oak, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. By late December, sunset is about 3:55pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and the kind of event.
- We recommend a menu and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up outdoors under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
