How our event catering works in St Giles
We always include meat-free choices: halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and barbecue chicken cover guests who don’t eat pork. Typical bookings include gatherings after a service and Fêtes, fairs and school events, serving beef burgers, salads and pulled pork.
Events in St Giles range from back-garden birthdays to office courtyards and school fairs. With neighbours close by, we pick a spot that keeps smoke and heat away from windows. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
On the day, we arrive in good time and set up under cover, where we agreed with you or the venue.
Add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken to a hog roast.
Hog roast, BBQ or something else?
Compared with a buffet caterer, our food comes hot, straight from the roaster or grill, and nothing sits out for hours. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book us in St Giles
- Sides to make it a full meal
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Hot food cooked at your venue
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.

St Giles questions
What if our house in St Giles has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you do small parties?
Share your numbers and we’ll advise, with no obligation.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard, with china available on request, quoted separately.
What events do you cater?
Weddings, birthdays and garden parties, staff days, Christmas parties, fêtes and school events, wakes, care homes and film sets.
Can you cater somewhere with no kitchen?
No. All the cooking happens outside, under cover, which is why we can cater almost anywhere.
Do you cater indoors?
We always cook outside, but food can be served indoors if the venue is happy.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space to serve as well as cook
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and trees
- Access wide enough for our equipment
St Giles 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 before you book.
