Barbecues in Totland: gardens, clubs and local tips
Totland is about 5 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. We cover events in Totland. We cater 125 places in the Isle of Wight. We cater events right across the region, from Totland to Southampton (about 18 miles away).
For a fundraiser at a school like St Saviour's Catholic Primary School, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school. After a christening at a church such as Christ Church, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. The sea is within about a mile of Totland, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
For events in PO39 and PO40, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include Meadow Barn Close, Ward Road and Weston Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. Main roads around Totland include the B3322, which makes travel to your event easy. If your venue is just outside Totland, we also cover Colwell (1 mile north-east), Freshwater (1 mile east), Easton (1 mile east), Norton Green (1 mile north-east) and Afton (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Newport (11 miles east), Cowes (12 miles north-east), East Cowes (12 miles north-east), Barton (11 miles east), Hunny Hill (11 miles east) and Cross Lane (11 miles east).

BBQ catering in Totland, served hot
For bigger events in Totland, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. Ask and we will quote for both. Whether it is family celebrations and fundraising barbecues, we can cook halloumi skewers, coleslaw and BBQ ribs for your guests.
For a barbecue in Totland, the garden is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will do the rest. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

How the day works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. Sunset in Totland is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Gather dietary requirements early
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or PO39 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
We cook as your guests come up, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Questions from Totland
Can you barbecue near the sea around Totland?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Burgers and sausages are usually the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are normally easier to get. Fill in our quote form.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Can you cater in Totland?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Totland and the Isle of Wight. Send us the address for a quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Crunchy coleslaw suits barbecue food, and salads add freshness.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Timed around your day

How we price a catered barbecue
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
