great food is at the heart of every memorable event

Don’t let your food and beverage be an afterthought. As seasonal professionals in the world of hospitality, we aim to please and delight you with an approach that’s personal and creative, but never fussy.

Our catering offerings span the range of full-service events (with a complete team to implement, execute, and clean-up), the more price-conscious and simple drop-offs, to onsite gathering opportunities at our flagship restaurant in Livingston Manor.

Sullivan County Events

Whether you have a specific theme or are simply looking for suggestions, we'll work with you to curate a custom menu that's just right for your event.

While BBQ is the heart and soul of Smōkd, we provide catering menus that accommodate all levels of budget, dietary restrictions, visions, or preferences.

Let us surprise you with what we can create together!

Barbecue Food Events

Every event starts with a collaborative conversation and a collective thought process that goes beyond what you might expect.

Our team expertise allows us to create an offering that’s visually layered, creating an opportunity for your guests to fully immerse themselves in the dining experience - whether it’s a welcome cocktail soiree, a shared family-style dinner, or a late night (and much-needed) snack bar.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you only do BBQ?

    Not at all! While we are known for our smoked meats and fire cooking, our menus extend far beyond traditional BBQ.  

  • Do you have more sample menus?

    Yes! We can always share more. The menus linked here are meant to spark ideas and showcase our style.  

  • Do you have a kitchen facility?

    Yes. We operate out of a licensed commercial kitchen and are fully equipped for offsite events. 

  • Do you provide tastings?

    We provide tastings for our confirmed clients within 6-8 months from the event.

  • What type of service style do you offer?

    We offer buffet, drop off or family-style service.

  • Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

    We believe every guest should enjoy a fantastic meal. We happily accommodate a wide range of dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options, as well as specific food allergies. Just let us know your guests' requirements during the planning process, and we’ll customize a menu that ensures everyone is well-fed and taken care of.

  • Do you provide staff for set-up and breakdown?

    This depends on the style of service you choose. For our full-service events, a professional team is included to handle all catering setup, service, and end-of-night breakdown. For our drop-off catering options, our team will deliver and set up your food so it is perfectly ready to serve, but we do not remain on-site for clean-up.

  • Do you have a minimum spend?

    We don’t! Quotes are tailored to the date and nature of each event. We work with a wide variety of budgets.
