Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
What happens on the day
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving for as long as we have agreed. For an evening barbecue in Bouldnor, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
Bouldnor is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

What else we do in Bouldnor
Planning a barbecue in Bouldnor
Bouldnor is about 5 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Planning a catered barbecue in Bouldnor? We can help. Bouldnor is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we cater. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 15 miles away.
Within reach of Bouldnor are historic houses such as Mottistone Manor (4.4 miles south-east) and Swainston Manor (4.6 miles east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early. Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School, often want a barbecue. The sea is within about 3 miles of Bouldnor, so breezy days are common: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
Wherever your event is in PO41, we can bring the barbecue to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your event could be at a house on The Vineyard, Port La Salle and Waters Edge or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. If your venue is just outside Bouldnor, we also cover Yarmouth (1 mile west), Cranmore (1 mile east), Hamstead (2 miles north-east), Shalfleet (3 miles east) and Thorns Beach (4 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Newport (8 miles east), Ryde (14 miles east), Cowes (8 miles north-east), Sandown (14 miles east), Shanklin (14 miles east) and Ventnor (14 miles south-east). For an event at a remote spot, let us know early and we’ll plan the trip.
A little further out are Ferguson Family Museum (1.9 miles south-west) and Yarmouth Castle (1 mile west). Within reach you will find Compton Down and Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve.
- Local pubs include Bugle Hotel (0.9 miles west)
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
