Nettlecombe questions
What’s the nearest station to Nettlecombe?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Is Nettlecombe too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Do you clear up?

Can you do a hog roast as well?

Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.

Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Step by step
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. A summer barbecue in Nettlecombe stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:10pm.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Our staff serve and clear

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
