About our event catering in Greengate
Every menu has vegetarian and vegan options: halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and barbecue chicken cover guests who do not eat pork. On the menu are halloumi skewers, pulled pork and hog roast rolls with crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings and evening receptions and work events and open days.
Events in Greengate range from back-garden birthdays to office courtyards and school fairs. With neighbours close by, we pick a spot that keeps smoke and heat away from windows. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Request gluten-free rolls
We bring the cooking equipment with us, so there’s nothing for you to find or hire for the cooking.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.

Before booking anyone
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms

- Plates, china and cutlery
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
BBQ ribs
Glazed ribs turn a barbecue into a proper spread, served alongside the burgers and sausages.
Before you choose a spot
We cook outdoors, so the cooking spot is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and trees
- Space to serve as well as cook
Greengate 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Choose your menu with us.
- We set up before food time.
- Hot food is served at the time you chose.
- We tidy up before we go.
