“Charlie and Eva were incredibly friendly and professional. They were very sweet to all the senior residents here and the food was out of this world. By far the best brisket and jerk chicken I have ever had and the residents would not stop raving about how delicious everything was. They were punctual and communicative. Highly recommend them if you want amazing BBQ and great service!!”

Why BBQ

More Than Another Office Lunch

Corporate catering can become predictable quickly. BBQ gives the meal a little more personality while still being easy to serve, easy to scale and flexible enough for different appetites and preferences. It works just as well for a small team lunch as it does for a larger employee event.

It Feels Like an Occasion

Smoked BBQ immediately feels more special than the usual sandwich tray or boxed lunch. It gives teams something to gather around and turns a routine meal into something people are more likely to remember.

Easy to Serve, Easy to Scale

A buffet-style BBQ meal works naturally for groups of different sizes. Guests can build their own plates, service stays straightforward, and the same format can work for twenty people or well over one hundred.

Something for Different Appetites

With a mix of smoked meats, sides and vegetarian options, groups can choose what works for them rather than being locked into a single meal format. We can help shape the menu around your headcount and the way the event is being served.

Group Size & Planning

Built Around Your Team

Every group is different, so we don’t treat headcount as a one-size-fits-all calculation. Tell us how many people you’re feeding, what kind of event you’re planning and whether anything else will be served, and we’ll help recommend a menu and quantities that make sense.

15–25Guests

Small Teams & Office Lunches

Ideal for smaller office lunches, client meetings, department meals and team gatherings. We can keep the setup simple while still giving the group a proper BBQ spread with enough variety to suit different appetites.

25–50Guests

Departments & Employee Events

A great fit for employee appreciation lunches, training days, larger team meetings and company celebrations. At this size, we’ll help balance variety, portioning and service so the meal feels generous without unnecessary over-ordering.

50–100+Guests

Company-Wide & Larger Events

For larger employee meals, company events and organisation-wide gatherings, we’ll help plan the menu around guest count, service timing and how the food will be served. Setup, hot holding and staffed service can also be added where appropriate.

We’ll Help You Get the Quantities Right

Headcount is only part of the equation. We’ll also consider the type of event, how long people will be eating, whether children are attending, whether other food is being served and the mix of meats and sides you’re considering. The goal is simple: enough food for everyone, without ordering more than the event actually needs.

Service Options

Choose the Right Level of Service

Some corporate meals only need a reliable delivery. Others benefit from a complete buffet setup or staff on site. We offer different levels of service so you can choose what fits the event, venue and budget.

Delivery

Delivery & Drop-Off

A straightforward option for office lunches, meetings and smaller company events. We deliver your catering ready to serve, with packaging and presentation planned around the way the food will be eaten.

Best for: Office lunches, meetings, smaller team meals

Setup & Hot Holding

Delivery, Setup & Hot Holding

We deliver the food, set up the buffet and provide hot-holding equipment where appropriate so everything is ready for your guests. This works particularly well for employee events, larger lunches and gatherings where the food needs to stay hot over a longer service window.

Best for: Employee appreciation, larger office lunches, company events

Staffed Service

Staffed Catering

For larger or more involved events, our team can stay on site to manage the buffet, keep the food presented properly and help service run smoothly from start to finish.

Best for: Larger company events, celebrations, longer service periods

Not sure which option makes sense? Tell us about the venue, guest count and how long the meal will be served, and we’ll help recommend the right level of service.
