Event catering in Southwark, served hot
Good event catering in Southwark comes down to three things: hot food, good timing and a tidy finish. We deliver all three, cooked on site. We serve beef burgers, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for wakes and gatherings after a funeral and milestone birthdays.
In a London neighbourhood like Southwark, access is the first thing caterers ask about. We cook outdoors, so we need a garden, yard, courtyard or car park with a way in for our equipment. Send us a picture. Everything we serve is cooked at your venue, from a carved hog roast to a full barbecue.

How it works
Your serving time sets our timings: a hog roast needs us there hours ahead, a barbecue a little less. Either way, it is ready on time. Winter events in Southwark are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting and somewhere warm to eat.
- First, you send us the occasion, date, venue and numbers.
- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up on the agreed spot.
- At serving time, the chef cooks and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

How we compare with other caterers
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the event where you want it, and we bring the food. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Planned to your running order
- Cooked where you are

What we cook
Pulled pork
Pulled pork in a roll with coleslaw is hard to beat, filling and easy to eat.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A level, open spot outdoors to cook
- Access wide enough for our equipment
- Space to serve as well as cook
As a London location, Southwark is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
