How to Choose the Perfect Catering for Your Event (Guide from a Real BBQ Team in Action)

Intro

Choosing catering can feel stressful. You want your guests happy, full, and impressed — without spending the whole event worrying about the food. At Vasiliadi BBQ, we’ve catered everything from small backyard birthdays to big outdoor events, and we’ve learned one thing: great catering is not just about food. It’s about the full experience.

‍

1. Check how the food is prepared — live or pre-cooked

Nothing beats the smell and taste of fresh BBQ.
If you want guests to feel the atmosphere, choose catering where food is cooked on the spot.

2. Look at the team’s energy and vibe

Catering is not only cooking — it’s hospitality.
Choose a team that looks alive, friendly, smiling, and connected with guests.

3. Consider menu flexibility

A good caterer adapts to your event size, dietary needs, and style.
With BBQ, it’s important that the cooks know different marinades, meat textures, and cooking times — so everything comes out juicy, not dry.

4. Focus on serving style

For larger events, warming trays (marmites) keep everything hot and help speed up service.

For smaller events, skewers straight from the grill create a premium feeling.

5. Read the vibe

Your catering should match your event energy:

• chill backyard — relaxed atmosphere
• corporate — structured and efficient
• festivals — fast service + strong visuals
• weddings — premium presentation
  

BBQ is universal because it fits everywhere, especially when the team brings their style and personality.

Conclusion

The perfect catering is the one that makes your event easier and your guests happier.
If you want flavor, atmosphere, and a crew that brings real fire and fun — BBQ is the answer.
