How our event catering works in Chelsea
Some caterers need a kitchen; we bring our own cooking to you. In Chelsea, that opens up gardens, fields, car parks and marquees, as long as there is a way in for our equipment. We serve beef burgers, beef brisket and hog roast rolls with crackling, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
For a London event in Chelsea, tell us about steps, gates and parking: parking for our vehicle and a route to the cooking spot. We will plan the rest. We cater the food, cooked on site, from a carved hog roast to a full barbecue.

How it works
A hog roast is cooked before serving and carved to order; a barbecue is cooked as people come up. Either way, we serve and tidy up. Sunset in Chelsea is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits garden parties and weddings.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, and send a quote.
- We agree where we will cook.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Name a contact for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Find out who avoids pork for the alternatives
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
A hog roast starts hours before serving; a barbecue is cooked through service. We plan our timings from when you want to eat.
For a long event, a hog roast at lunch and a barbecue later can work.

For event organisers in Chelsea
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning the cooking spot
Gardens, yards, car parks and fields can all work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Clearance from walls, tents and overhanging branches
- Enough room for people to queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner
Chelsea is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
