The Charm of Country BBQ Catering

There’s something unmistakably special about a barbecue done right. The aroma, the smoke, the tender meat—barbeque catering creates an atmosphere that’s equal parts relaxed and festive. And when it's done by chefs & pitmasters who take pride in every cut and every rub, it becomes an unforgettable experience.

Our country BBQ catering service brings:

●      Hickory-smoked meats slow-cooked to perfection

●      House-made sides like maple-baked beans, cornbread, and tangy slaw

●      On-site smoking and carving stations to bring the action to your guests

It's rustic, hearty, and always a crowd-pleaser—ideal for weddings, anniversaries, or even casual corporate and sporting events.

Wedding Catering with Heart

Your wedding day should feel effortless. And when it comes to food, you shouldn’t have to worry about a thing. At Chemong Lodge, we treat every wedding catering request with special care, whether it’s an intimate gathering or a grand guest list.

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter menus. Instead, we work with couples to create something that reflects them—using local ingredients and our team’s creativity. Some couples want a plated service, others want a barbeque buffet under the stars. We’ve done it all, and we love when a client’s personality shines through our culinary creations.

And yes, we’ll handle the setup, the service, and the clean-up. We can even handle your florals, decor, place settings and menus- allowing you to focus on other important aspects of your big day!

Corporate Catering That Works
