Our aim is to keep your wedding catering uncomplicated and easy for both the planning process, and on your big day itself. Every wedding occasion is different and through our 30 years of providing catering services to many weddings, we have plenty of experience & options, and we are here to support you.

We have created a number of packages at various prices. We have listed our most popular items in our packages for you to choose from.

We are able to meet your catering requirements for the big day and would love to discuss ideas or menus with you. Please ask if you would like to mix and match any of our menu items across the web site.

From finger food / canapes to the main buffet until dessert we provide prime export meats, the freshest salads, freshly baked breads, and decadent desserts to choose from.

Canapes are fun and set the occasion mood at the very start of the dining experience, but these are always personal so we will work in conjunction with you to create a menu. Feel free to browse our menus for ideas.

All our wedding buffets include staff to cook, serve, clear tables, clean and also include crockery, stainless steel cutlery and linen for the buffet tables.

About Us

Welcome to Bareknuckle BBQ — Authentic American BBQ, Hawke’s Bay Style. At Bareknuckle BBQ, we’re proud to bring the bold, smoky flavors of traditional low and slow American barbecue to the heart of Hawke’s Bay. Born from a deep love of the craft, our mission is simple: to serve unforgettable BBQ made with passion, precision, and the finest ingredients Aotearoa has to offer. Our journey started with a respect for the timeless art of smoking meat. Today, we stay true to those roots—carefully selecting premium cuts, sourcing local produce wherever possible, and taking the time to do things right. From tender brisket and juicy pulled pork to chicken, ribs, and our signature smoked beef cheek, every dish is a celebration of patience and flavor. Behind the smoker is our pitmaster, Jimmy, whose years of experience and dedication to the craft are evident in every mouthwatering bite. With just the right balance of smoke, time, and temperature, he creates barbecue that’s tender, rich, and packed with soul. Whether you’re a BBQ connoisseur or a curious newcomer, you’re in for something special at Bareknuckle BBQ. A sample menu follows, it is based around our most popular menu ideas but is flexible and we would love to cater something specifically for your event. It can be scaled up or down depending on budget, so just give us a call or email for any changes. contact@bareknucklebbq.com PH: 0212020223
