Group BBQ Catering

Group BBQ catering from The Catering Dept takes the guesswork out of feeding a crowd and replaces it with something far more satisfying: a generous, flavour-packed spread that brings people together and keeps them talking long after the last bite. Whether you are organising an end-of-year celebration for your team, a community gathering, a birthday party, or a corporate outdoor event, we have the menu, the experience, and the logistics to pull it off properly. Sydney clients have trusted us for over 20 years, and our reputation comes down to one straightforward promise: beautiful, honest food delivered with professionalism and care.

Food That Fits the Occasion

 

There is a reason the BBQ is one of the most universally loved formats for group dining. It is relaxed, abundant, and brings a warmth to any gathering that a boardroom lunch simply cannot match. Our BBQ packages are built around that same spirit, combining locally sourced ingredients, house-made condiments, and fresh seasonal sides into menus that feel considered and generous in equal measure. Every item is prepared from scratch in our production kitchen in Kingsgrove, NSW, where quality is the starting point, not an afterthought.

 

Our current BBQ packages include options at a range of price points, giving you the flexibility to choose a spread that suits both your guest count and your budget. From our entry-level Grill package through to our premium Harbour offering, each one is designed to satisfy a group without putting unnecessary pressure on the person organising it. You can choose to have food delivered ready to eat, or opt for a full-service experience with chefs and waitstaff on the day.

Group BBQ Catering for Every Type of Event

 

Group BBQ catering is one of the most versatile formats we offer, and it suits a genuinely wide range of occasions. Corporate end-of-year events, birthday parties, wedding receptions, school fundraisers, sporting club celebrations, community days: the list goes on. Outdoor settings, rooftop venues, company courtyards, parks, and backyards all lend themselves perfectly to a well-run BBQ spread, and we have catered across all of them.

 

What makes the format work at a group level is that it naturally encourages people to slow down, gather around the food, and enjoy each other's company. It removes the rigidity of a sit-down meal without sacrificing quality or presentation. When the food is this good, group BBQ catering becomes a genuine part of the event rather than just a logistical checkbox to tick.

BBQ Catering for Small Groups, Done Right

 

We understand that not every event involves a hundred-person guest list, and BBQ catering for small group settings is something we genuinely excel at. Whether you are feeding a tight-knit team of ten or hosting an intimate garden celebration for thirty guests, we apply exactly the same care and standards to your order that we would to our largest event. Smaller groups often mean a more personal atmosphere where the quality of what is on the plate is noticed immediately, and we would never let that slide.

 

Our packages are scalable and easy to customise, and our team is always available to help you work out the right quantities and options for your specific group size. You get everything The Catering Dept is known for, seasonal produce, reliable delivery, and food prepared with genuine skill, without paying for more than you need.

Lovely staff, attentive to dietary needs and clear at communicating. I've used them for event catering and it's been a very pleasant experience.

This wasn’t just disappointing — it was reckless, careless, and absolutely unacceptable. When a customer specifically orders Vegetarian or Vegan food, it’s not a suggestion — it’s a clear instruction. It is basic common sense that such food must be packed separately, clearly labeled, and handled with care. Instead, my vegetarian meal was shoved into the same box as meat items, completely contaminating it.

We had a great experience with Catering Dept at our recent event at Hub Australia. Fernando, the Smooth Operator, came in the day before to walk us through the whole plan, which really put us at ease. His preparation and attention made a big difference. On the day, everything ran smoothly. The food was delicious, the presentation was impressive, and the service was spot on. The waitstaff were well dressed, respectful, and paid close attention to the details throughout the event. The rest of the team was also excellent. Communication over email was clear and organised. They outlined everything we needed to consider and even reminded me to arrange extra meals for guests with dietary or allergy needs, which was a big help while I was juggling other event tasks. Professional team, flawless delivery. Would definitely recommend.

We worked with The Catering Department on a five-week film shoot, feeding upwards to 90 people multiple times per day across the shoot. Their team are warm, efficient, and excellent at problem-solving. Plus, they make delicious meals! Highly recommend them for complex catering needs!

Anita Andersen 20/08/2024

We ordered quite a few boxes for a recent function and were impressed with the quality of food and service. All food arrived on time and presented beautifully, all of the staff we interacted with were friendly and professional at all time. Thank you.

Amy Vandenhurk 09/06/2024

I used the Catering Department for pre wedding catering last week and from variety online to ordering and email communication to delivery on the day, the process was seamless. The food was delivered safely and on time the driver was personable and delivered right into the venue. The presentation was lovely and the food was just as ordered. Very happy and would absolutely recommend.

Peta Greenfield 02/05/2024

The Catering Dept was great. I utilised their services for a morning tea at work. Their website makes placing an order simple and easy. The tax invoice is easily accessible through their platform and the catering was delivered slightly ahead of schedule - so smooth, so easy!

Molly Johnson 04/01/2024

We hosted our annual Christmas event, and it was a stand out event! The food was beautiful and the team at The Catering Department were so helpful and accomodating and did everything to ensure we hosted a smooth and successful event. Big shout out to Brendan and the team. You were an absolute pleasure to work with and we can't wait to host an event again with you.

Irene Koinis 05/09/2023

I used the catering dept for my daughters recent 21st. I chose the buffet package and it was absolutely amazing. I chose the Catering Dept by reviews and they did NOT disappoint. The food arrived hot, on time and it was very tasty. It was plentiful . we had plenty of leftovers. some of my guests were the fussiest eaters but they even enjoyed the food. I would use the TCD again for my next function.
