When you picture an Aussie BBQ, what comes to mind? Is it the smell of super tasty smoked meats and veggies drifting through the air? The sight of brisket that’s been cooking for 14 hours until it practically melts at the touch of a fork? Or maybe it’s the sound of mates laughing over a platter piled high with ribs, pulled pork, chicken thighs with all the sides, and smiles all round.
That’s the world we live in at The Aussie Smoker, a place where BBQ isn’t just food, it’s an experience. And while we’re known for serving up the kind of meat that makes jaws drop and taste buds dance, we also know there’s no such thing as “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to feeding a crowd.
Every event, whether it’s a wedding, a birthday bash, or a corporate do, is full of different tastes, diets, and preferences. Some guests want to sink their teeth into juicy pulled pork that’s been kissed by Cornish oak smoke, while others are on the lookout for vibrant, flavour-packed vegetarian or vegan dishes. And here’s the thing: we believe everyone deserves to walk away from the table just as full, just as happy, and just as impressed.
That’s why our menus are built to celebrate the best of both worlds, meat and veg, so no one feels like they’ve been left out of the feast.
The Meat Lover’s Heaven
Our menu is built around authentic Australian BBQ flavours with a Cornish twist. Guests can enjoy dishes like:
- Cornish Oak Smoked Pulled Pork: the crowd favourite that’s slow-cooked until tender and packed with flavour.
- Premium Grade Australian Brisket: smoked low ’n’ slow for 14 hours.
- BBQ Chicken Thighs: marinated, smoked, and juicy to the bone.
- Smoked Pork Ribs: fall-off-the-bone, finished with our signature glaze.
For the meat-eaters, these dishes are the highlight of the feast and what makes our catering services so memorable.
Celebrating Veggie & Vegan Guests
But it’s not just about the meat. We pride ourselves on offering vegetarian and vegan options that aren’t just “afterthoughts”, they’re dishes we’re proud to serve.
Some of the favourites include:
- Smoked Semi-Roasted Tomatoes & Garlic: rich, smoky and bursting with flavour.
- Aussie Style Mac n Cheese: creamy, indulgent, and perfect for comfort food lovers.
- What! No Bacon Beans: a hearty, meat-free BBQ classic.
- Fresh House Slaws and Salads: crisp, tangy, and vibrant sides like Adam’s Mum’s Summer Carrot Salad.
Even our BBQ Rub is vegan-friendly, designed to add smoky depth to both meat and roasted vegetables.
Creating a Balanced BBQ Feast
At weddings, corporate events, or private parties, we know inclusivity is key. That’s why our wedding catering packages include menus designed to balance both worlds. Imagine pulled pork alongside mac n cheese, ribs paired with vibrant veggie slaws, and Smoked Chicken Potato Salad (or Chimichurri Potato Salad for the veggies and vegans) served next to What! No Bacon Beans.
This variety ensures that guests can mix and match, creating plates that suit their tastes, whether they’re die-hard carnivores or plant-based foodies.
Why It Matters
Food is at the heart of every celebration. Making sure all your guests feel considered not only avoids stress on the day, but also leaves a lasting impression. Our approach to BBQ catering is about bringing people together over food that sparks conversation and joy, no matter their dietary preference.
