What we serve, dish by dish
Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, so they keep the queue moving alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, which keeps the queue moving.
BBQ catering in Plaish, served hot
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We serve BBQ ribs, halloumi skewers and sausages, and we’re often booked for Fêtes, fairs and sports days and cricket, football and rugby club days.
Country barbecues near Plaish are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Plaish barbecues: local tips
Plaish is about 2 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Thinking about a catered barbecue in Plaish? We cover the whole area. We cater all 125 towns and villages across the Isle of Wight. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 17 miles away.
If the day starts at a church like Church of St. Nicholas in Castro, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. Nearby historic houses include Carisbrooke Castle (0.8 miles north-east) and Gatcombe House (1.8 miles south-east).

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Plaish
Is Plaish too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you come to Plaish?
Yes, Plaish is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of food time, so the barbecue is ready when you are. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For an evening barbecue in Plaish, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
