About our BBQ catering in Gaskins
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. For evening wedding food and close and cul-de-sac parties, we can cook coleslaw, BBQ ribs and beef burgers.
Near Gaskins, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

What else we do in Gaskins
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Planning a barbecue in Gaskins
Gaskins is about 3 miles south-east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Gaskins and its neighbours for events. Gaskins is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 19 miles away.
If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Brading station, about 1.2 miles south-west. Nearby historic houses include Nunwell House (1.7 miles south-west) and Yaverland Manor (1.7 miles south). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. The sea is within about 3 miles of Gaskins, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
Events anywhere in PO33 and PO36 start with an outdoor spot for the barbecue. We also bring barbecues to events in St Helens (1 mile north-east), Brading (1 mile south-west), Yarbridge (2 miles south-west), Morton (2 miles south-west) and Yaverland (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (8 miles west), Ryde (3 miles north-west), Cowes (9 miles north-west), Sandown (3 miles south-west), Shanklin (5 miles south-west) and Ventnor (8 miles south-west). Some remote sites need extra planning, so contact us in good time.
A little further out are Sandown Castle (2.7 miles south) and Lilliput Museum of Antique Dolls And Toys (1.2 miles south-west). The countryside around Gaskins includes Brading Down and Brading Marshes RSPB reserve.
- Local pubs include The Vine Inn (0.6 miles north-east)
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Rough numbers

Step by step
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Gaskins until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:10pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Why choose BBQ catering in Gaskins?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What you get with us

Before you choose a spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- A clear way in from where we park
Gaskins is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
