Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Event catering near Lisson Grove
Not every venue in Lisson Grove has a kitchen, and with us it does not need one: all the cooking happens outdoors under cover. That makes gardens, fields, car parks and marquees all possible. For care home days and film and TV crews, we can cook rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and beef burgers and more.
In Lisson Grove, we cater in gardens, yards, playgrounds and office courtyards. With neighbours close by, we pick a spot that keeps smoke and heat away from windows. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

The process
With cover over the cooking, rain rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. In Lisson Grove, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so most summer events eat in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Is our catering right for your event?
Next to a row of food trucks, a single caterer means one menu, one queue and one point of contact. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
