Barbecues in Ningwood: gardens, clubs and local tips
Ningwood is about 6 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We cater events of every size in Ningwood. Ningwood is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our bookings stretch from Ningwood to Southampton (about 16 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Shalfleet Church of England Primary School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser. After a christening at a church such as Church of St. Michael the Archangel, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. With the coast within about 5 miles of Ningwood, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
This part of the Isle of Wight takes in PO41. Close by, we cover events in Newbridge (1 mile south-east), Wellow (1 mile west), Thorley Street (1 mile west), Shalcombe (2 miles south) and Calbourne (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Newport (6 miles east), Ryde (12 miles east), Cowes (7 miles north-east), Sandown (12 miles east), Shanklin (12 miles east) and Ventnor (12 miles south-east).

- Local pubs include New Inn (0.9 miles north-east)
How our BBQ catering works in Ningwood
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, well clear of walls, marquee sides and trees. Tell us about the space in Ningwood and we will check it works. For engagement and anniversary parties and fundraising days, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, BBQ ribs and beef burgers and more.
Near Ningwood, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

The process
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. Autumn and winter barbecues in Ningwood get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare

Common questions in Ningwood
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Ningwood 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.
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.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: use our quote form.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked 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.

What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
