The process
We get there well ahead of food time, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. For an evening barbecue in Puckpool, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your guests

Common questions in Puckpool
Can you barbecue near the sea around Puckpool?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to Puckpool?
The closest is Ryde St Johns Road station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
How much choice do we need?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
