What is your cancellation policy for orders?

Our cancellation policy depends on how close we are to your event and how much prep has already started. Since we purchase ingredients and block off time on our schedule once your order is confirmed, cancellations or date changes may be subject to fees, and deposits or prepayments may be non refundable. The best move is to contact us as soon as possible if anything changes, and we’ll do our best to work with you. Your order confirmation or invoice will always have the most specific details for your event.

Do you provide setup for catering events?

Yes, we can provide setup for catering events. For drop off catering, we can deliver your food and set up the serving area with warming pans and utensils so everything is ready when guests arrive. If you want a more hands on option, we can also talk through staffed service or having our trailer on site, depending on your event and location.

Can I sample the BBQ before ordering?

Yes, you can sample our BBQ before ordering. We offer tastings by appointment for larger events like weddings and big corporate catering, so you can feel confident about your menu choices. Reach out through our Catering Order Form or Contact Us page, tell us your event date and estimated guest count, and we’ll set up the next available tasting.

What are your payment options for catering?

For catering, we typically require prepayment to reserve your order and event date. Payment options can vary depending on the order and how you book, so the best way to get the most accurate details is to submit our Catering Order Form or reach out through the Contact Us page, and we’ll confirm the payment method and next steps.

How many people can your catering serve?

We can cater events of many sizes, from small gatherings to large groups. The best fit depends on your guest count, the menu you want, and whether you need drop off catering or our trailer on site. Send us your event date, location, and estimated headcount through our Catering Order Form or Contact Us page, and we’ll confirm what we can accommodate and recommend the best setup.

Do you offer BBQ packages for large groups?

Yes, we offer BBQ catering options that work great for large groups. We can build a package around your guest count with a mix of meats and sides, and you can choose drop off catering or have our trailer on site to serve. For the most up to date group options and pricing, check out our Catering Order Form or reach out through our Contact Us page and we’ll put together the best setup for your event.

What is the pricing for your catering services?

Our catering pricing depends on the service style and how many guests you’re feeding.

For our on site BBQ trailer service, we serve two meats and two sides starting at $20 per person. If you want to add more, additional meats are $2 per person and an additional side is $1 per person.

We also offer catering a la carte with half pans and full pans for larger groups, so pricing can vary based on what you pick. For the most accurate, most recent pricing, check our Catering Order Form or reach out through our Contact Us page and we’ll confirm your total for your exact event.

Are there any seasonal menu items available?

The easiest way to see what’s currently on the menu is to check our Catering Order Form for the most recent updates, or reach out through our Contact Us page and we’ll let you know what seasonal options we have right now.

How do you ensure food quality during events?

We make food quality a priority from the moment we start prepping to the moment your guests are eating. Our BBQ is cooked fresh, held at safe serving temperatures in insulated carriers and warming pans, and transported carefully so it arrives hot and ready to serve. For drop off catering, we set up the serving area so food stays warm and organized. For on site service, we time everything so it comes out fresh throughout the event, not sitting around getting dry. We also follow proper food handling and sanitation practices the entire way to keep your meal safe, consistent, and delicious.

Can I pick up my catering order?

Yes, you can pick up your catering order. When you submit our Catering Order Form, just select pickup and include your preferred pickup time. We’ll confirm the details and have everything packed up and ready so you can grab it and go.

What are your hours of operation for catering?

Our catering hours can vary based on event schedules and availability, so the best way to confirm is to submit our Catering Order Form or reach out through our Contact Us page with your event date and time. We’ll get back to you and confirm what we can accommodate.

Do you have any special promotions for catering?

We sometimes run catering specials or limited time promos, especially around busy seasons and local events. The best way to see what’s available right now is to check our website or submit our Catering Order Form, and you can also reach out through our Contact Us page and ask if we have any current catering promotions.

How do you handle food allergies in catering?

We take food allergies seriously and we want you to feel safe and confident. When you place a catering request, tell us about any allergies and how severe they are, and we’ll help you choose the best menu options. We can also label items when requested and keep foods separated during prep and setup as much as possible. That said, we work in a kitchen where common allergens may be present, so we can’t always guarantee zero cross contact. If you have a severe allergy, please let us know up front so we can talk through the safest plan for your event.

Can I request specific BBQ styles or flavors?

Yes, you can request specific BBQ styles or flavors. If you prefer jerk style, classic smoked flavors, a certain sauce level, or a particular mix of meats, just tell us when you submit your Catering Order Form or message us through the Contact Us page. We’ll help you build a menu that matches your crowd and make recommendations based on what serves best for your type of event.

What is the minimum order for catering services?

Our minimum order can vary based on the type of catering you need, your event date, and whether you want drop off catering or our trailer on site. The quickest way to get the exact minimum for your event is to check our Catering Order Form for the most current details, or reach out through our Contact Us page with your guest count and date and we’ll confirm it right away.

Do you provide utensils and serving dishes?

Yes, we can provide the basics you need to serve your catering order. Depending on your setup, that can include serving pans, utensils, and everything arranged so it’s ready for guests. The exact items included can vary by order, so when you submit our Catering Order Form or reach out through our Contact Us page, just mention what you’ll need and we’ll confirm what’s included and what add ons are available.

How do you keep food warm during events?

We keep your food warm by using insulated transport carriers and professional warming pans so everything stays at safe serving temperatures from pickup or delivery through service time. For drop off catering, we set up the food in warming pans and recommend the best placement and timing so it stays hot for your guests. For on site service, we time the cook and serve flow so food comes out fresh throughout the event instead of sitting too long.

Are there any discounts for repeat customers?

We appreciate repeat customers, and from time to time we may offer returning customer specials or discounts depending on the order and the season. The best way to find out what’s available right now is to mention it when you submit our Catering Order Form or reach out through our Contact Us page, and we’ll let you know if we can apply a repeat customer discount to your event.

What is the best way to place an order?

The best way to place an order is through our online Catering Order Form, since it lets us collect all the details we need in one spot. If you’d rather talk with us first, you can also reach out through our Contact Us page and we’ll help you from there.

Can I change my order after its placed?

Yes, you can usually change your order after it’s placed, as long as we still have enough time before your event to adjust prep and inventory. The sooner you reach out, the easier it is to make changes. If we’re already in the middle of purchasing or preparing food, changes may be limited or could affect the total. The best move is to contact us right away through our Contact Us page (or reply to the message thread if we’ve already texted you) and tell us what you’d like to update.
