(3/3) We’re absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity and support from everyone involved and who spent the afternoon with us on 7th September. You showed up for our community in a big way, and for that, we appreciate you more than words can say ❤️

🙌 Together we raised £14,000, which will be split 50-50 between the ESEACC Luncheon Club @eseacc_luncheon_club 💛 and Medical Aid for Palestinians @medicalaidpal 🍉

It truly takes a village, and this is *the village* by the numbers:
🧑‍🍳 23 incredible BBQ Chef Contributors
🥗 16 amazing Asian Salad Squad (A$$) Salad Slingers
🍰 6 wonderful Dessert Contributor Champions
🫶 Our Army of 25 Dedicated Volunteers
👭🏻 5 fabulous ESEA Community Centre Team Members
🎶 7 fantastic DJs and the star 🎷Saxophonist who kept the energy high
📷 2 talented Photographers who captured every moment
🌟 30+ generous Donors, donating incredible in-kind donations from raffle prizes, ingredients, products and more
🎟️ all 365 of our Ticketholders

Now for the serious bit: we’ve heard a lot of kind, generous, and encouraging words after the event, as well as constructive feedback about your experience on the day. A key issue raised was the long queue and wait times for food 🎯. Please rest assured that we are aware of these issues, and are continuing to receive feedback from our contributors. The organising team will be sitting down for a debrief soon, where all feedback received will be helpful in ensuring we alleviate these issues the next time we have this event 👀🤞

We will be sharing more photos of the event from our 2 brilliant photographers Nandal @nandal_seo and Darren @humothy in the coming days and weeks, so lookout for that!

@vegware has kindly donated plates, cups, napkins, forks, and blue roll for our event. They’ve saved us doing the washing up 🤗🫧 and we can rest easy knowing our serveware will be compostable.

Thank you @vegware for showing up on the logistics side of things and for your generous contribution! Every contribution, no matter how big or small, noticeable or not, is greatly appreciated and will help us raise funds on the day. by @bigfat.bbq

We could wax lyrical about the exciting, unique, flavour-packed seasonal soft serve and ice cream flavours @soft_n_swirly churn out every week. If you’ve not had a taste yet 👅 they are open everyday in summer at @e5bakehouse London Fields, 12-5:30 pm.

We’re so grateful to have them join us at our event, and deeply chuffed that they are donating all the ice cream 🍨 towards our fundraising efforts on the day! We’ve had a little peek at the flavours they suggested, and we’re already plotting ‘ice cream breaks’ in the staff roster in preparation 🤭😬 thank you thank you @soft_n_swirly !

We would say at this point to get tickets if you haven’t, but we’ve sold out 🤯 😅 taken in e5 bakehouse by @bigfat.bbq

We are… SOLD OUT 🎉🎉🎉

Tickets for The Big Fat BBQ are officially gone!

We are touched by the support of people wanting to join us to raise funds at this year’s BBQ. Due to an overwhelming response, we’ve made the decision NOT to sell tickets at the door. 🚪🎟️❌

Our chef-contributors have helped us to create a delicious menu, but food is limited, and we want to make sure everyone who’s already got a ticket gets a chance to try the amazing dishes we have on offer.

If you didn’t grab a ticket, don’t worry! This won’t be the last of these... We will see you next year! 🤞🤞

Our hearts are so full, thanks to the generosity of the chefs, DJs, photographers, videographer, suppliers, donors and volunteers who’ve stepped up to make this happen. We honestly can’t wait to welcome, cook and share moments with this special community. It is times like these in the world when we need some love 😘

See you at the grill ❤️ taken in Englefield Road by @bigfat.bbq
