Where there’s smoke there’s fire, where there’s fire there’s flavour Weddings, corporate affairs, arts festivals, remote endurance events – if you can envision it, we can feed it. Our solutions are as tailored and bespoke as the delicacies on our menus. Nothing would please us more than finding a way to add something special to your event.

Let us bring a sophisticated taste of BBQ to your special day. Check out our wedding menus on our website and experience our hand-crafted dishes that are made with passion and care. Great food is a journey. From incredible taste and tenderness, to a lingering satisfaction that leaves you full but not over-done. Part of the reason we love ‘low and slow’ barbeque is the way it meets all these measures. Slow cooked cuts complemented by hearty salads and tasty morsels, it’s authentically crafted food that never fails to please.

Looking to set your corporate event part from the rest? We believe every event deserves a unique approach, whether you’re looking for the lavish, intimate or out-of-the ordinary; BBQ Cartel is the answer.

Every event deserves a unique approach Regardless of the challenge, we bring a “nothing is a problem” attitude to the table. Our aim is to transcend your expectations of customer service, giving you every confidence that your catering will run without a hitch. With detailed planning upfront and delicious food provided by smiling staff, our commitment is to satisfy stomachs, hearts and minds alike.

As much as we love to serve, we love to create. Our pit masters are true masters of their craft. Through years of practice they intuitively know exactly when to flip a brisket, what spices make a perfect rub and how to keep the embers burning at just the right heat to lock in flavours and juices. BBQ Cartel is made up of four key BBQ styles: American, Argentinian, Asian Fusion and Kiwi. Our BBQ styles are an art that must be mastered through experience, and it makes for a difference you can taste in the food we create.
