How our BBQ catering works in Godshill
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Whether it’s retirement do’s and summer staff days, we will put together a menu of BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket for your guests.
In a small place like Godshill, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Why choose BBQ catering in Godshill?
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will work around it where possible.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What happens on the day
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. A summer barbecue in Godshill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
