CHOOSING YOUR DIY CATERING MENU

Set Menu Packages make ordering food for your event super easy and efficient.

All of our packages are based on the most popular meal combinations from the restaurant and are proven winners in the flavour department.  Our packages come in two price points, our Classic Comfort packages provide great flavours and variety, along with being cost concious.  Our Signature Series are packages that are designed to make a statment, when you’re really looking to “put on the dog” so to speak.  Some packages are 2 courses, some are 3 courses, but you can always add to a menu package to create the perfect experience for you and your guests.

If you prefer to have more flexibility and creativity in your catering choices, you might want to opt for our Build Your Own menu option.

Our Build Your Own menu option is ideal for those who want to have more control and variety in their catering choices. It allows you to create a unique and delicious menu that reflects your preferences and needs. So if you’re looking for a fun and flexible way to cater for your next event, why not give our Build Your Own menu option a try?

HOW TO ORDER DIY CATERING

Welcome to Event Planning 101, your go-to resource for mastering the art of ordering DIY Catering from Memphis Fire Barbeque Company. Planning an event can be both exciting and overwhelming, but fear not—we’re here to guide you through the process step by step.

The first step is answering the 3 big questions about your event.  This will shape your view of the requirements for your food. The second step is to think about the style of menu or another way to look at is how complex of a menu are you interested in. 

 Are you looking for the least complex option, going with a tried-and-true menu package that Chef Steve has put together, or are you blazing your own creative trail and picking and choosing dishes that you want to serve.

Both are perfect options, and we cover them both below. The last step is understanding portion sizes, steps to finalize your order and other organizational tips to ensure your event is absolutely perfect.

After reading this section, you’ll be a pro at this, trust us.

DIY CATERING STEP ONE

THE BIG 3 QUESTIONS

1

How Hungry Will People Be?

This is super important because it helps you figure out how much food to order to keep everyone happy. You know your guests better than we ever could, so, you need to understand how they eat, and of course how many are arriving.

2

What Time is the Event?

Now, let’s talk about timing. Whether it’s a lunchtime munch or a dinner feast, the time of day can really influence what folks are craving and how much they’re likely to eat. Lunch catering and dinner catering can be two very different events.

3

What Else is Being Served?

Last but not least, let’s chat about what else is on the table. Are we the main attraction, or do we need to play nice with Aunt Judy’s famous Potato Salad? Knowing what other food you’re serving will help you create a menu that’s sure to please everyone.

More Explanation Next Steps

Your Guest’s Needs

Before you start crafting your event’s menu, take a moment to consider the guest count. It’s not just about the number of people attending; it’s about understanding their appetites and preferences. Are you hosting a gathering of hearty eaters who love to indulge, or a group of more reserved guests with lighter appetites? Is it a mix of adults and children with varying tastes and dietary needs? Knowing your guests’ eating habits and age range is key to ensuring that everyone leaves satisfied and impressed.

As you plan, keep in mind that the cost per person can have a significant impact on your final catering bill. While it may seem like a small detail, the difference from a cost per person in a menu package vs. a custom menu can quickly add up, affecting your budget in more ways than one.

When it comes to catering, finding the perfect balance is key. Having too much food can lead to waste and unnecessary expenses, while not having enough can leave your guests feeling hungry and you stressing out for no reason. With our set menus, you can trust that we’ll provide just the right amount of food to satisfy everyone’s appetite, without overdoing it too much.  Here are some examples of our Pre-Set Menu Packages which are very popular.

Feel Free to Explore These Ideas

That being said, our full range of catered options are designed to delight guests of all ages and tastes, and it can be a lot of fun to create your own menu full of all your Memphis Favourites.

So, as you plan your next event, remember to take the time to consider your guest count carefully. By understanding how your guests eat, factoring in the cost per person, and finding the perfect balance of food, you can ensure that your event is a resounding success. With Memphis Fire Barbeque Company by your side, you can rest assured that every attendee will leave satisfied and impressed, making your event one to remember.

How Time of Day Affects Portion Size

The timing of your event plays a crucial role in shaping the catering experience. Whether you’re hosting a midday luncheon, an early evening soirée, or a late-night party, the mealtime sets the tone for the menu and portion sizes.

I suggest that you consider what your guests will be doing in the hours leading up to your event.  If the event is a early-afternoon event, then people may not be as hungry because they probably ate a couple of hours ago.

Where if you are dining at 4:00 pm, then your guests are going to be very hungry because they possibly haven’t eaten in over four hours.  Furthermore, if the event is an all-afternoon and evening event, consider what other items you are serving through the day and how that will affect the menu that you’re serving too.  This is just food for thought on how we plan events, based on the questions we always ask.  At the end of the day, you know your family and friends better than we ever could and we’re just happy to help you throw an amazing event with great food.

Playing Nice with Others on the Table

When it comes to planning your event’s catering, one of the things people love the most is the chance to create a menu that’s perfectly tailored to their guests’ tastes.

Here’s something important to think about 

Will your catering choices be the main event, or do they need to complement other dishes brought by your guests?

For example, if Aunt Judy’s famous Potato Salad is on the menu, consider altering your choices to work together to ensure that your BBQ offerings perfectly complement her dish. With our diverse range of menu options, from succulent meats to mouthwatering sides and refreshing salads, our DIY Catering gives you the freedom to curate a menu that’s sure to satisfy every palate.

Not the real Aunt Judy

DIY CATERING STEP TWO

CHOOSING YOUR MENU

A

Do You Choose a Set Menu?

When it comes to selecting your menu for your event, you have the option to choose a set menu. Our set menus are curated with a combination of our most popular dishes, expertly crafted to offer a balanced and delicious dining experience for your guests. These menus are designed to simplify the decision-making process, offering a pre-selected combination of succulent meats, mouthwatering sides, and refreshing salads.

B

Do You Create Your Own Menu?

If you prefer to have complete control over the menu for your event, you have the option to create your own custom menu. This allows you to handpick each dish, ensuring that every aspect of your catering experience reflects your unique preferences and vision.

C

Menu Package + Upgrades?

What if the menu package is almost perfect, but you want an extra type of side dish, or you would like to offer your guests a third meat option.

Don’t worry, that’s always an option – and a good one at that.  I mean, wouldn’t it be nice to offer Chef Lori’s Mac Deluxe instead of Mac n’ Cheese, or Ranch Tots instead of regular Tots?

Trust me, I’ve spent years perfecting these recipes, so you can focus on what truly matters: enjoying the company of your loved ones. So, take the stress out of hosting and let our BBQ expertise elevate your next event.

THE GBD menu package

Honey Butter Bliss

Our Honey Butter Fried Chicken is a crowd-pleaser that will make your taste buds sing.

The secret to our moist and tender Bone-In Fried Chicken is that we butcher in house, dry brine with seasoning and spices and then cook the chicken sous-vide in a buttermilk marinade. Once the chicken is perfectly cooked, we double-dredge and fry each piece until it’s Golden Brown and Delicious or GBD. We then toss them in our homemade honey butter sauce, for that perfect sweet and savoury taste.

To balance out the richness of the chicken, this package pairs two refreshing cold side dishes: our tangy Alabama White Apple Slaw and our Chef Lori’s Famous Lemon and Herb Potato Salad. And to complete this BBQ Picnic meal, we include our fluffy Cornbread and whipped butter pots.

This menu package is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a family gathering, a birthday party, or the perfect picnic in the park or winery when visiting Niagara.
