Your questions about caterers in Pentonville
Could you cook in Barnard Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Pentonville has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Every menu includes meat-free options, cooked separately from the meat.
Is crockery included?
Yes, plates are included. Ask about china for a sit-down meal.
Do you come to Pentonville?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Pentonville and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Hog roast or BBQ: which is better?
It depends on your guests: a hog roast suits a crowd, a barbecue suits mixed tastes. Tell us about the event and we will suggest one.
Do you need a kitchen at the venue?
Not at all. All the cooking happens outside, under cover, which is why we can cater almost anywhere.
What if our venue is indoors?
We cook outdoors under cover, but we can often serve inside if the venue agrees. Ask your venue what they allow.

Compared with doing it yourself, nobody you know spends the event cooking, and the food is in professional hands. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

How the day works
On the day, we arrive in good time and set up under cover on the agreed spot. With a hog roast we start early; with a barbecue we cook as people eat. In Pentonville, 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 is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us about the event: what it is, when and where.
- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, and send a quote.
- We agree where we’ll cook.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
We bring the cooking equipment with us, so there’s nothing for you to find or hire for the cooking.
A hog roast can come with lamb or chicken alongside.
