BBQ catering in Denver: common questions
How do I know these caterers do BBQ catering in Denver?
They are listed as BBQ caterers serving Denver. Confirm the menu, date and service area with each caterer before you book.
How is BBQ catering usually priced?
Caterers price either per person or by the pound for meats with sides by the pan. Ask what is included (sides, buns, sauces, serving utensils) and whether staff or on-site smoking cost extra.
Can a BBQ caterer cook on site?
Some bring a smoker or grill and cook at your event; others deliver hot trays. Check venue rules on open flames and smokers first.
Which caterers in Denver deliver without staff?
1 of the 3 caterers listed in Denver offer drop-off catering, where food arrives hot in disposable chafers with serving utensils and the caterer leaves. It is the cheapest way to feed a group and needs no gratuity or staffing charge. Filter the results on this page by “Drop-off” to see only those companies.
Can caterers in Denver handle dietary restrictions?
Yes. Of the caterers listed here, 1 offer vegetarian menus. Give final allergy and dietary counts at least two weeks before the event. For a guest with celiac disease, ask specifically about separate prep surfaces and utensils rather than just gluten-free ingredients, and for strict kosher or halal observance ask which certifying body the kitchen works under.
How far in advance should I book a caterer in Denver?
For an office lunch or small drop-off order in Denver, CO, 1 to 2 weeks is usually enough. For a large corporate event allow 2 to 3 months, and for a wedding allow 9 to 12 months, since the best caterers in any metro book their Saturday dates first. December and the May-June graduation window are the hardest times of year to book late. Many caterers will take rush orders inside 72 hours for a fee, and repast catering is routinely arranged in under 48 hours.
How much does catering cost per person?
Nationally, drop-off trays and boxed meals commonly run about $15 to $30 per person, a buffet with setup about $25 to $55 per person, and a full-service event with staff and plated or stationed food about $50 to $150 per person or more. The three things that move the number most are service style, protein choice and guest count. Drop-off is cheaper than full service because there is no staffing, rentals or gratuity. Below roughly 40 guests, most caterers charge a flat minimum instead of a per-head rate.
