BBQ catering in Noke Common, cooked on site
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. For evening wedding food and engagement and anniversary parties, we can cook pulled pork, beef brisket and halloumi skewers and more.
In a small place like Noke Common, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

A catered BBQ in Noke Common: what to know
Noke Common is about 2 miles north of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Noke Common is well within our area for events. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 14 miles away.

What BBQ catering costs
We work out each quote from:
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Noke Common
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
