Our Vision

In 2011, we had a dream to bring barbecue, rotisserie and spit-roast catering out of back gardens and into the lives of millions via specialist outdoor, gourmet catering events delivered to tens of thousands of expectant guests. The London Barbecue was born. We have since moved to our new kitchens in Wix, Essex allowing us to travel across Essex providing our unique barbecues with London and the rest of the UK in easy reach.

The business goes from strength-to-strength and continues to host the best large-scale, corporate outdoor catering parties to hit London town, with an ever-changing twist on flavours, exotic themes and downright finger-licking good barbecued food to keep your guests taste buds drooling in anticipation.

We travel across Essex to places near and far.

Summer Barbecue Experience

Of all the aroma’s that outdoor eating produces, there is nothing more evocative of cherished childhood memories, and as liberating on a baking hot summers day, than the satiating smell of delicious meats popping, fizzing, and sizzling on a charcoal BBQ; the real taste of summer.

Our experience of pricking a free-range pork banger, flipping an Aberdeen Angus beef burger doused in hickory smoked sauce, throwing a chilli-infused soy shrimp, marinating a luscious corn-fed chicken and skewering mint and rosemary kebabs, means that, once you’ve tried one of our BBQ experiences, the bar will be irreversibly raised.

The Churrasco Gang: Brazilian Barbecues

It’s carnival time. Powerful street samba beats and hip shaking frevo rhythms can tingle and revel on your taste buds with our authentic Brazilian BBQ. Infusing the essence of Brazil with succulent beef and mouth-watering chicken, cooked on skewers over hot coals on our purpose built Brazilian rotisserie, or as they say on the streets of Rio, “churrasqueira”. Colourful, aromatic, flavoursome, lively and a whole lot of sexy fun.

Our Street Food operation takes us across Essex and the UK  for festivals and events

Delicious hog and spit roasts 

Nothing is quite at tantalisingly delicious as the smell of a whole slow spit roasted hog. There is something age old and satisfying that taps right into our primal nature when we see a whole succulent pig slowly turning over hot coals. We’ll also spit roast a whole lamb, studded with rosemary and garlic, the melt in the mouth sensation that accompanies every delicious mouthful is heaven in every slow, chew.

If you really want to pull out all the stops, why not have one of our choice cuts of prime shoulder of Angus beef. You will not believe how incredibly impressed your guests will be by our to die for flavours that will greet their expectant salivating mouths. Our chefs will carve the meat of your choice into freshly baked baps, or onto a plate with golden brown roasted potatoes. The choice, as ever, is yours.

Our local Essex butcher and farms always provide us with the best meats available in Essex.

Rentokil Pestaurants by Brands2Life

From the sublime to the almost ridiculous, we pioneered barbecuing exotic and home-grown ‘pests’ in exotic pop-up restaurants. Serving up delicious barbecued, sweet-chilli pigeon burgers, wasabi weaver ants, marinated grasshoppers, crunchy crickets and chocolate dipped bugs to a bemused and sceptical but surprisingly satisfied crowd.

With an ethical message behind this unusual foodie venture, the scarcity of high-quality protein resorts two billion people worldwide to supplement their diets with insects – if pestaurants became popular, we could help solve this global resource shortage. 

I'm feeling lucky: your wish is our command 

If our delicious choice and variety of menus and catering experiences doesn’t quite get your taste buds tingling, then we’ll happily create a bespoke foodie solution to meet any need – we’ve catered for elegant banquets, gourmet street-food stalls, dazzling buffets and much more.

We will individually tailor a menu to suit your budget, venue and style, catering for any special requirements in food or delivery that your business or guests require. From kosher to halal, and vegan to gluten free – we will ensure your guests dietary needs are taken care of. We guarantee we will deliver you a catering experience to remember.
