BBQ Catering London: Mediterranean Summer BBQ for Offices & Events

The grills are lit. Our BBQ catering London season is officially open, and the Mediterranean BBQ Pop-Up is already filling summer dates across the city. Picture proper charcoal flames, marinated shish and warm pita, all cooked in front of your team.

In this post we cover what's on the menu, the two ways to book it, and fresh footage from recent events. In a hurry? Head straight to our BBQ catering collection or email orders@routecatering.co.uk with your date and numbers.

BBQ Catering London: What's on the Grill

Our BBQ menu carries the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours we are known for. Every skewer is marinated in-house and cooked over a proper grill. The Mediterranean BBQ Pop-Up costs £19 per person and includes:

• Lamb shish, tender and seasoned the traditional way
• Chicken shish, marinated with Middle Eastern spices
• Veggie kebab built around seasonal Mediterranean vegetables
• Warm Turkish pita bread for wrapping and sharing
• Hummus and fresh tzatziki
• Shepherd's salad with tomatoes, cucumber and herbs

Halal options are available on request, and the veggie kebab keeps plant-based guests well fed. Tell us about allergies when you book. On the day, we label everything clearly so nobody has to ask.

Live Fire or Delivered Ready to Serve

There are two ways to book it. The first is the full pop-up experience. Our chef arrives with a self-contained BBQ setup, cooks everything fresh on site and handles the cleanup. Live cooking adds £3 per person and turns an ordinary lunch into the event of the week.

The second option is pre-cooked delivery. We grill everything in our kitchen that morning, then deliver it hot and ready to serve. This suits offices without outdoor space, and it scales easily for larger meetings. Order by 3pm and we deliver the next day, anywhere in London.

Words only go so far with live fire cooking, so here is recent footage from our summer events.

Why a Summer BBQ Works for London Offices

A BBQ does something a buffet never quite manages. People drift towards the grill, plates in hand, and conversations start between teams who rarely cross paths. For hybrid workplaces, a summer BBQ has become the most reliable way to get everyone in on the same day. As a result, our BBQ catering London calendar starts filling from the last week of June.

We have cooked for teams at Nike, Amazon, UCL and Imperial. Beyond offices, we cater everything from a 20-person rooftop lunch to festivals and events for more than 1,000 guests. Thames boat parties, garden terraces, courtyards: if there is space for a grill, we will make it work. Prefer a different style of station? Browse our full pop-up range.

Planning Your Summer BBQ

Peak season in London runs from late June to the end of August. Live cooking dates on Thursdays and Fridays book out first, so we suggest enquiring two to three weeks ahead. Delivery orders stay flexible all summer, with the 3pm next-day cutoff applying as usual.

What we need from your venue

For live cooking, an outdoor area works best: a terrace, courtyard, rooftop or car park all do the job. Our setup is self-contained, so you need no power supply and no kitchen. For ready-to-serve delivery, a table is enough. Additionally, our 5 Star Food Hygiene rating means building managers rarely have a question we cannot answer.
