Events, parties and large group orders
Have a group to feed?
Catering is half of what we do. From a small family supper to a huge event, anywhere within about two hours of Halifax, and the Boneheads van brings it. 24 hours or more advance notice recommended for catering and group orders.
Big flavour. Real smoke. Personally led.
Hi, I'm Jess, one of the owners of Boneheads BBQ and your Catering Director. Catering is a huge part of what we do, and I'm personally involved from start to finish.
When you reach out about an event, whether it's a small pickup order or a large on-site function, you're not getting passed around or handed off. You're working directly with me. I'll guide you through the menu, guest counts, logistics, timing and all the little details that make an event run smoothly.
My goal is simple: exceptional BBQ, clear communication and a stress-free experience, no matter the size of your event.
Jess
Owner and Catering Director
Pick how much you want us to do.
- On-site catering
- For 70 or more guests, the full Boneheads experience. We arrive 30 to 60 minutes before your start and run a hot buffet for up to an hour and a half. Buffet tables if you need them, chafing dishes, serving utensils, plates, napkins, cutlery and our red-and-white check tablecloths, with at least two of our team to set up, run and break down the buffet.
- Delivery and set-up
- For up to 70 guests. We deliver and set up a clean buffet line, ready to serve, and do not stay on site. You provide the tables. Wire chafing sets, plates, napkins, cutlery and serving utensils are available to buy.
- Pick-up or delivery
- For smaller gatherings and meetings. Anything from the catering menu, picked up at the restaurant or delivered, in oven-ready foil pans that fit standard chafing racks. Paper goods are extra.

BBQ takes time.
- Pick-up and delivery orders need at least 24 hours notice, and some items need more.
- A $100 non-refundable deposit holds an on-site catering date. Half the quoted total is due 30 days before an on-site event.
- Final menu choices and guest counts are needed 7 days before the event, and final payment is due no later than 7 days before.
- We can book on-site and set-up dates up to a year ahead, so reserve early. Very large last-minute orders are not always possible, but reach out anyway; very often we can make it work.
- We bring the BBQ anywhere within about two hours of Halifax, from a family supper to a big event. Further out, ask us.
- All service is buffet style. We do not serve drinks or alcohol, and guest tables, chairs, tents, linens and glassware are not included. Clearing guest tables and trash is up to the host or venue.
- Outdoor events need a backup plan in case of bad weather. Leftovers can stay with you on request, if you have containers and a fridge.
- Preferred payment is e-Transfer. Credit card payments of $1,500 or more carry a 2.4% processing fee.
- Prices do not include tax, delivery fees, service charges or gratuities, and may change.
