Booking, Pricing and Availability
How much does BBQ catering cost in Southern Ontario?
Every event is custom quoted based on guest count, menu selection, service style, location, and event date. Pricing is volume-based, allowing flexibility for both small and large-scale events. A Booking Fee starting at $1,000 is required to secure your date and catering team. This fee is credited towards your event total; it is not an additional charge.
