How our BBQ catering works in Carisbrooke
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, well clear of walls, marquee sides and trees. Send us a photo of the space and we will confirm it. Typical bookings include work barbecues and big birthday parties, with beef burgers, halloumi skewers and sausages.
In a place like Carisbrooke, a barbecue at home is generally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will bring everything else. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
After service, our staff clear up, leaving the spot tidy.

Carisbrooke barbecues: local tips
Carisbrooke is about 1 mile south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Carisbrooke and its neighbours for events. We bring barbecues to all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 16 miles away.
Thinking of a barbecue in Seaclose Park? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, typically the council’s. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser. The sea is within about 5 miles of Carisbrooke, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
For events in PO30, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and a serving time. We can cater an event on streets such as Down Lane, Purdy Road and Castle Lane or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the barbecue. For events just outside Carisbrooke, we cover Clatterford (1 mile south), Gunville (1 mile north), Plaish (1 mile south-west), Bowcombe (1 mile south-west) and Gatcombe (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Ryde (7 miles east), Cowes (5 miles north), Sandown (7 miles east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (5 miles north). For an event at a remote spot, tell us early so we can plan the journey.
A little further out are Isle of Wight Music Museum (1.1 miles north-east) and Carisbrooke Castle (within half a mile south-east). The countryside around Carisbrooke includes Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Brighstone Down.
- Local schools include Christ The King College (under half a mile north-east) and Island Innovation VI Form Campus (1.1 miles east)
- Pubs nearby include The Waverley pub (under half a mile east)

Carisbrooke: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Carisbrooke?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
How much choice do we need?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Can you cater in Carisbrooke?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Carisbrooke and the Isle of Wight. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Usually, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
What meats do you barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
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.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. In Carisbrooke, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Think about where the smoke will drift
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or PO30 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
