Pros and Cons of BBQ Parties in London

You might want to have a party in the city, and you love hitting all of London's historic venues like the Tower Bridge, its beer gardens, and huge picnic-friendly parks. But is it the best place to host a BBQ party?

Pros

• Party venues usually come with various amenities available to make your day special and easier to organise, such as BBQ grills, sheltered areas in case it rains, and outdoor seating for your guests.
• If you're not allowed to light up your BBQ in a public area, such as a park, you can make the most of the private BBQ party venues on offer so nothing interrupts your bash.
• Your perfect summer party can be held at an outdoor venue or indoors, as many venue listings offer both options for convenience. Start your summer BBQ party on a roof terrace and head inside if the weather changes suddenly.

Cons

• Booking the perfect venue in the city can cost you a pretty penny, especially if you want to host one of your stellar summer parties in central London.
• Some outdoor venues come with certain restrictions, like if you want to use BBQ equipment or if you want to make a loud noise. This is why it's essential that you check the venue's listing in detail so you know what's required.
• You might have to change your summer party date as popular locations in the city could be fully booked, such as on weekends in peak season. This is why you should try to book your ideal venue ahead of time.

Planning Your BBQ Party in London

London is known for its clubs, pubs, and outdoor spaces, so you'll find a unique and creative venue to put your BBQ summer event on the map. Read through the following party planning tips so everything goes according to plan on the big day.

Have a Backup Spot – BBQ parties are meant to be enjoyed outside, but the weather could rain down on you, forcing your event inside. You should check that your venue has indoor and outdoor amenities so you don't have to cut your summer BBQ short.

What About Accessibility For Guests? – To make it easier for your guests to reach the event, choose a venue that's within close proximity to underground stations and popular city sights to make it more appealing to them.

What are the Venue Restrictions? – You should always check with the property host if they have rules and restrictions when it comes to parties and noise. These can vary quite a bit depending on the venue, so if you're in doubt, contact the owner/manager to ensure you follow the guidelines.

What's the Venue Style? – You can find London party venues in various styles, so think a bit about the type of BBQ party you're looking to create before you choose the ideal location from Giggster's 62 listings.

How to Save Money on Your BBQ Party in London

It's easy to start racking up the expenses when planning a party in London, especially if you're in a central location. You can save some money with these tips.

Ask guests to bring their own food.

Instead of catering the event, consider letting everyone bring the drinks, food, and sweet treats they'd like to enjoy at the BBQ. This makes it more social and lets everyone feel included while saving you money.

Can you go minimal with your outdoor space?

A green outdoor event space that doesn't have many amenities might be cheaper than a more elaborate venue. That said, scroll through the rental listings because there are some kitted-out spaces, like restaurants and bars, that are cheaper than other venue types.

Why not borrow a friend's BBQ equipment?

You might need some BBQ items to make your party a success, such as grills, tongs, BBQ gloves, and other items depending on the food you're grilling. Instead of renting what you need, borrow some from friends as this will reduce your expenses.
