Event catering in South Kensington
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
With a hog roast we start early; with a barbecue we cook as people eat. We plan our timings from when you want to eat.
Pair a hog roast with a barbecue for bigger events.
About our event catering in South Kensington
Across South Kensington, we cater everything from garden parties to staff days. The menu changes with the occasion, but it is always cooked on site and served by our team. On the menu are beef brisket, salads and pulled pork, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas parties and care home summer events.
In a London neighbourhood like South Kensington, access is the first thing caterers ask about. We need an outdoor space and a route in, which rules out some flats but suits most gardens, yards and courtyards. A picture helps. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to.

Hog roast, BBQ or something else?
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the event where you want it, and we bring the food, whether that is a garden, a hall or a field. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Sides to make it a full meal
- No surprises: everything in writing

How we price your catering
We work out each quote from:
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
When you contact us, please mention:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
How it works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will work around it. Around midsummer it stays light in South Kensington until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so most summer events eat in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share the date, the place and how many.
- Choose your menu with us.
- We arrive in good time and set up under cover.
- We serve when you are ready.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Before we arrive
