Planning an event in Moortown?
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
About our BBQ catering in Moortown
Whether it’s twenty friends in a garden or a whole workforce in a car park, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Tell us your rough numbers and we will plan the menu and service. On the menu are beef burgers, halloumi skewers and BBQ ribs, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer staff days and leaving parties.
In a small place like Moortown, 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 handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Moortown: your questions answered
Is Moortown too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Use our quote form.
Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Moortown barbecues: local tips
Moortown is about 6 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Moortown and its neighbours for events. We cover all 125 towns and villages across the Isle of Wight. Our bookings stretch from Moortown to Southampton (19 miles away).
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser. Among the historic houses close to Moortown are Mottistone Manor (1.3 miles west) and Westcourt Manor (1.6 miles east). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one.
Here we cover the PO30 postcode area. Your event could be at a house on Main Road, Moor Lane and Upper Lane or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. We also bring barbecues to events in Brighstone (1 mile south), Thorncross (1 mile south-east), Shorwell (2 miles east), Little Atherfield (3 miles south-east) and Atherfield Green (3 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Newport (6 miles north-east), Ryde (12 miles north-east), Cowes (9 miles north-east), Sandown (10 miles east), Shanklin (10 miles east) and Ventnor (9 miles south-east).

What affects the price in Moortown
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- Site access
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
For somewhere as remote as Moortown, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Perfect for your event in Moortown
Cooked properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart
In Moortown, we cook barbecues for all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Birthdays and milestone parties
- Fêtes, fairs and sports days
- Close and cul-de-sac parties
- Team days and staff summer parties
Churches such as St. Mary's Church rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby usually does.
Before booking anyone
- Whether travel is included
- How dietary needs are handled
- VAT, if it applies
- Plates, china and cutlery
Step by step
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Sunset in Moortown is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is generally in daylight.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access
