Clubs and leisure centres near Shanklin can host a barbecue if there is outdoor space. For a fundraiser at a school like St Blasius Shanklin CofE Primary Academy, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school. With the coast within about 3 miles of Shanklin, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
Here we cover the PO37 and PO36 postcode area. From High Street, Church Road and Regent Street or anywhere nearby, we can set up and cook there. You’ll find Shanklin on the A3020 and A3055, which makes the journey straightforward.

We also serve nearby towns such as Newport (7 miles north-west), Ryde (6 miles north), Cowes (10 miles north-west), Ventnor (3 miles south-west), East Cowes (10 miles north-west) and Oakfield (6 miles north). As one of the bigger places in the Isle of Wight, Shanklin has lots of places with room for a barbecue. For an event at a remote spot, tell us early so we can plan the journey.
A little further out are South Wight (2.4 miles south-west) and Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (under half a mile north). The countryside around Shanklin includes Alverstone Mead and St Boniface Down.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
After service, our staff clear up, so there is very little left for you to do.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

What happens on the day
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving for as long as we have agreed. For an evening barbecue in Shanklin, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.

What comes off the grill
Sausages
Sausages are a barbecue favourite, served in a roll or with sides.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
