About our event catering in West Hampstead
If you are searching for caterers in West Hampstead, you probably want someone who turns up, cooks well and clears away. That is our job, whether it’s a hog roast or a barbecue. Typical bookings include weddings and festive parties, serving spit-roast lamb, pulled pork and beef brisket.
Getting our equipment into a London venue in West Hampstead needs a little planning: where we can unload, and how we reach the cooking spot. We will plan the rest. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What the cooking area needs
We cook outdoors, so the cooking spot is the main thing to plan. Here’s what helps:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Space to serve as well as cook
- A level, open spot outdoors to cook
West Hampstead 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We bring the cooking equipment with us, so you do not need to borrow anything for the cooking.
