BBQ Feast Catering is a family-run caterer established in 1998 and based at a rural property near Lakeside, Ontario. It specializes in Southern-style barbecue for weddings and other events, with customized menus, smoked meats and service across much of Southern Ontario. For couples specifically researching Southern Ontario BBQ wedding catering, the company offers both staffed and lower-service formats rather than a single fixed wedding package.

The official website confirms the business name, wedding service, telephone numbers and current quote process. It also presents two locality labels—Lakeside and Zorra—for the same street address and postal code, so an address is intentionally not reproduced in the profile’s address field.

Services and specialization

BBQ Feast specializes in Southern-style barbecue prepared with wood smoke, charcoal and live-fire finishing. Its official menu includes brisket, pulled pork, ribs, chicken, turkey, steak, lamb, salmon, shrimp, skewers and whole roast pig, alongside classic burgers, sausages and Brazilian-style churrasco selections.

Wedding menus are custom quoted rather than limited to a standard public package. The company says items are ordered and prepared specifically for each event, allowing couples to build a menu from meats, salads, potatoes, pasta, vegetables, rice and desserts.

Customized wedding menus
Southern-style smoked and grilled meats
Buffet-oriented event catering
Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal accommodations available by prior arrangement

Menu and service formats

The company offers full-service, drop-off and pick-up options. Its description of full service includes staff for setup, service and cleanup, depending on the event requirements. Drop-off is positioned for smaller or more casual events, while full service can include on-site cooking and event execution.

A documented feature is the use of double-sided buffet setups, intended to move guests through service from both sides. Couples considering this format should ask how many buffet lines, serving staff and service stations are proposed for their final guest count.

Rental coordination through outside vendor partners for some events

Service area and who it may suit

BBQ Feast says it serves most of Southern Ontario. Its published coverage includes London, Stratford, St. Thomas, Woodstock, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Brantford and Hamilton, with service extending to additional Southwestern Ontario communities and parts of the Greater Toronto Area depending on the event.

The offering may suit couples planning a buffet-style, outdoor, barn, private-property or relaxed venue wedding who want barbecue to be a central part of the meal. It may also fit larger celebrations because the business documents high-volume catering experience. Venue rules and the proposed service plan still need to be checked for each wedding.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Confirmed features include operation since 1998, custom menu development, several service formats, staffed setup and cleanup options, high-volume event experience and a broad menu extending beyond smoked pork or beef. The official FAQ also documents vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free accommodations, and describes its chicken and brisket as halal.

Practical limitations are mostly matters requiring clarification. Most events have a 50-guest minimum, and the public wedding starting price is based on 250 guests, so smaller weddings should not assume the same per-person rate. The website does not establish which rentals, tableware, staffing hours, travel charges or cleanup duties are included in every quote.

Minimums and pricing can vary with season, location and service requirements
Live-fire service remains subject to venue rules and event logistics

Pricing

Current wedding starting pricing is explicitly published at $40 per guest, based on 250 guests. The wedding service page also states that pricing is volume based, menus are custom quoted and the minimum is 50 guests.

The starting figure should be treated as a reference point rather than a complete wedding total. The site does not attach a universal list of inclusions to that figure. Couples should request an itemized proposal covering food, staffing, setup, service time, travel, rentals, taxes, gratuities and any late-night or dessert service.

Final price depends on guest count, menu, location, service style and event date
A custom quote is required

Contact and booking

Couples can use the quote form on the official website and provide the event location, guest count, date, event type, service time, meal period and budget range. The company says quote and proposal requests normally receive a response within 48 hours, although this is guidance rather than guaranteed availability.

The official numbers are 519-283-6553 and toll-free 877-599-1899. The office operates by appointment. The contact page shows the same street and postal code under both Lakeside and Zorra, so couples should confirm the preferred postal locality before using the address for contracts, directions or vendor paperwork.

What couples should confirm

Before signing, confirm that the venue permits external catering, smokers, charcoal or other live-fire equipment. Ask where cooking and buffet stations will be placed, what power or water access is required, and how the caterer will handle rain, wind or winter conditions.

The final contract should identify the menu, portion plan, dietary-meal handling, service timeline, staffing, rentals, travel, setup and breakdown responsibilities. Couples should also verify the current booking fee, payment schedule, cancellation terms, final guest-count deadline and whether leftovers can be retained under the company’s food-safety policy.
