Meatings Barbecue

Last reviewed: August 13, 2026. Business status: Active.

Last reviewed: August 13, 2026. Meatings Barbecue is an Ottawa-area barbecue business with a current official website, an active catering enquiry route and a retail location in Orléans. Its catering page specifically names weddings among the events it serves, making it a relevant option for couples looking for Ottawa barbecue wedding catering.

The business’s current information differs from the historical address in this listing. Meatings now identifies its retail location as Unit 106, 1680 Vimont Ct, Orléans, ON K4A 3M3, and lists catering alongside restaurant, retail and takeout offerings. Couples should use the current contact details below rather than the legacy listing information.

Services and specialization

Meatings Barbecue focuses on smoked barbecue food. Its official catering page presents two main event formats: on-site catering and drop-off catering. The business also sells party platters for pickup, which may suit smaller pre-wedding gatherings or casual wedding-related events where the couple can arrange collection.

The published platter selection includes smoked brisket, ribs, chicken, pulled pork, smoked wings and sausages, along with sides such as mac ’n’ cheese, coleslaw, smoked beans, salads, cornbread and a vegetable tray. The official site also lists jackfruit in its retail smoked-meat selection, but couples should ask directly about current wedding-menu options and dietary accommodations rather than assume any item is available for an event.

• On-site catering: Meatings brings equipment, prepares food on location and serves guests.
• Drop-off catering: ready-to-eat buffet-style food is brought to the event.
• Party platters: pickup only at Broadhead Brewery, prepared hot and ready to serve.

Service area and who it may suit

The confirmed retail address is in Orléans, within Ottawa. The official site says the business can bring food to an event, but it does not publish a defined delivery radius or a wedding service-area map. Ottawa and nearby-region couples should provide their venue address when enquiring and ask whether travel, parking, venue access or other location-specific charges apply.

This may suit couples who want smoked-meat-centred food and prefer either a staffed, on-site service format or a simpler buffet delivery. The official site indicates that service staff are required for events feeding more than 50 people; its FAQ says there is otherwise no stated guest limit. That is useful planning context, but availability for any particular date and venue must be confirmed directly.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A confirmed operational feature is the clear distinction between on-site preparation and drop-off catering. For on-site events, Meatings says it brings its gear, prepares food at the venue and offers food service to guests. For drop-off orders, the food arrives ready to eat in buffet style. This gives couples a documented basis for comparing the two logistics models.

The main limitation is that the website does not set out a complete wedding package with inclusions, staffing levels, rentals, beverages, taxes, gratuities or venue requirements. Its party-platter ordering notes require 72 hours’ notice, while its catering FAQ advises giving as much notice as possible for parties of 50 or more. Those published notes are not a substitute for a wedding quote or confirmed date.

• Documented strength: both staffed on-site and ready-to-eat drop-off formats are offered.
• Documented strength: the catering page names weddings explicitly.
• Practical limitation: service area, dietary handling, rentals and final event scope are not fully published.

Pricing

Current party-platter pricing is explicitly published on Meatings’ catering page. Examples include cornbread at $35, coleslaw or chef’s salad at $40, mac ’n’ cheese at $55, pulled pork or chicken-leg platters at $80, ribs or smoked wings at $90, smoked brisket at $130 and a vegetable tray at $125. These are listed product prices, not a wedding package or per-person quote.

The site links to separate drop-off and on-site catering menus, and couples should request a written quote that identifies the applicable menu, serving quantities, staffing, delivery or travel, setup, taxes, gratuities and any venue-related costs. Do not calculate a wedding budget from platter prices alone.

Contact and booking

For wedding or event enquiries, use the catering form on the official catering page. Meatings also provides a general contact form and lists info@meatings.ca. The current public phone number is 613-319-8543.

The official site lists retail and pre-order hours as Tuesday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Sunday, 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. These are retail hours, not a promise of catering consultation or event availability. Include the wedding date, venue, guest count, preferred service format and allergy information in an enquiry.

What couples should confirm

Ask whether your venue permits the required on-site equipment and whether Meatings needs a dedicated setup area, power, water access, loading access or a weather backup. For drop-off, confirm arrival timing, who will receive the order, the buffet setup supplied and food-holding responsibilities after delivery.

Request the current event menu and verify portions, dietary and allergen procedures, staffing for your guest count, dishes or serving equipment, cleanup, payment schedule, cancellation terms and applicable taxes and fees. If you are considering party platters, confirm the current pickup location and the 72-hour notice requirement before relying on that option.

Business background

Meatings’ team page says the business began in 2012 and describes its early catering work, including a wedding. The same official page identifies Mathieu Flosse as president, Nick Lecour as chief executive officer and Matthew Garino as sales manager and development chef. These details support the current identity of the business but do not indicate availability, pricing or the scope of a future booking.

The official website also places Meatings at Broadhead Brewery in Orléans for its restaurant and retail presence. This profile treats that location as a contact and pickup point; it does not represent it as a wedding venue or imply that wedding receptions can be held there.
