About our event catering in Plaistow
We cater weddings, parties, staff days and community events across Plaistow. The menu changes with the occasion, but the approach is the same: cooked on site, served hot, cleared away afterwards. Whether it’s gatherings after a service and staff days and client events, we can cook salads, beef burgers and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Events in Plaistow range from back-garden birthdays to office courtyards and school fairs. London gardens are often compact, so we look for a spot clear of fences and windows. Our staff serve and clear, so you can enjoy the event.

How we price your catering
Things that change the price:
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you contact us, please mention:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Clearance from walls, tents and overhanging branches
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A level, open spot outdoors to cook
Plaistow 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
All the cooking kit comes with us, so you do not need to borrow anything for the cooking.
Add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken to a hog roast.
For event organisers in Plaistow
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
What happens on the day
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will work around it. Late May in Plaistow has light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer until about 9:20pm, which gives summer events long evenings.
- First, you send us the occasion, date, venue and numbers.
- You get a menu suggestion and a 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests

Your questions about caterers in Plaistow
Could you cook in Keir Hardie Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Plaistow?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the 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’ll suggest one.
Is our event too small?
Send us the date and rough numbers and we’ll advise, with no obligation.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you do halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.

- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
