Planning a party can be a lot. Whether you’re putting together a backyard birthday bash, a wedding reception, or a company picnic, one thing’s for sure—people remember the food. And when it comes to feeding a crowd, it’s tough to beat the smoky, satisfying magic of slow-cooked BBQ.
At Richard Jones Pit BBQ, we’ve been catering events across Orange County with our authentic, Texas-style BBQ for years. From brisket that melts in your mouth to ribs that fall off the bone, we’ve learned a thing or two about what makes a party meal memorable. Here’s why BBQ catering isn’t just a safe bet—it’s a slam dunk.
BBQ Is Built for Big Gatherings
Some foods just don’t scale well. BBQ isn’t one of them. Whether you’re feeding 15 people or 150, smoked meats and hearty sides like mac & cheese or BBQ beans can be served buffet-style, plated, or even boxed up for easy grab-and-go. That kind of flexibility makes BBQ perfect for all kinds of occasions—from weddings and family reunions to office lunches and tailgate parties.
Plus, BBQ is naturally filling and flavorful. Guests won’t walk away hungry, and there’s always something for everyone—smoked chicken, pulled pork, tri-tip, and more. Add a few appetizers and some fresh sides, and you’ve got a menu that feels like a feast without the complicated prep.
No Cooking, No Cleanup, No Headaches
Let’s be honest—nobody wants to man the grill or prep 12 trays of food the night before a big event. With BBQ catering, you get all the flavor and fun without the mess. We handle the cooking, the delivery, and even the setup if needed, so you can actually enjoy your own event for once.
And the best part? No mountain of dirty dishes afterward. You won’t need to worry about keeping things warm or refilling trays—we’ve got that down to a science. It’s effortless, professional, and ridiculously tasty.
Comfort Food That Delivers Every Time
BBQ has a way of bringing people together. It’s comforting, familiar, and just a little bit indulgent—in the best way possible. You can dress it up with elegant serving trays for weddings or keep it casual for a backyard vibe. Either way, it never feels boring or basic.
When the smell of smoked brisket hits the air, people start lining up. And when the food’s that good, the compliments roll in fast. Trust us—your guests won’t be asking who made the salad.
