Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

What’s the nearest station to Branstone?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Burgers and sausages are normally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Is the meat halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you need anything from us?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
