BBQ catering in Shanklin Village, served hot
For bigger events in Shanklin Village, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. We serve coleslaw, sausages and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and sports days and back-garden get-togethers.
London gardens around Shanklin Village are often small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Why choose BBQ catering in Shanklin Village?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Add a hog roast alongside
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Six meats to choose from

Shanklin Village: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Shanklin Village?
Belmont station, in Shanklin Village itself.
What if our house in Shanklin Village has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
When should we book BBQ catering?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Will children like the BBQ?
Typically, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
Where the barbecue can go in Shanklin Village
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
As a London location, Shanklin Village is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How it works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it is flexible. At midsummer, it’s light in Shanklin Village until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.
- 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.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
