Where the barbecue can go in Brookgreen
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
Brookgreen is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

BBQ catering in Brookgreen, served hot
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We are often asked to cater birthdays and milestone parties and retirement do’s, serving BBQ ribs, sausages and chicken skewers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Brookgreen makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Brookgreen barbecues: local tips
Brookgreen is about 7 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Brookgreen and its neighbours for events. We cover all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 19 miles away.
If the day starts at a church like St. Mary's Church, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. The sea is within about 5 miles of Brookgreen, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
We cater events across PO30. We also bring barbecues to events in Brook (1 mile north-west), Hulverstone (1 mile north-east), Dunsbury (1 mile north-west), Chilton Green (1 mile east) and Shalcombe (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Newport (7 miles north-east), Ryde (13 miles north-east), Cowes (10 miles north-east), Sandown (12 miles east), Shanklin (12 miles east) and Ventnor (11 miles east). For an event at a remote spot, tell us early so we can plan the journey.
A little further out are Brighstone Village Museum (2.2 miles east) and Yarmouth Castle (4.8 miles north-west). The countryside around Brookgreen includes Westover Down.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Running late? Let us know, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Travel to Brookgreen
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is ready to serve from the start of service, so nobody waits for the grill.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a DIY barbecue, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the cooking is in experienced hands. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Planned to your running order
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Sides to make it a full meal

Common questions in Brookgreen
Is Brookgreen too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Brookgreen?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Do you need anything from us?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
