Catering Made Simple
We’ve streamlined our catering process to make ordering quick and efficient.
👉 Review the menu
👉 Select your package or items
👉 Place your order online
Our catering system is designed to focus on preparing great food—not lengthy consultations.
Everything is made fresh and smoked low and slow. Real barbecue and homemade catering take time to prepare properly, so advance notice is required.
LEAD TIMES
Smaller orders under $500: at least 72 hours' notice. Acceptance depends on availability, menu selections, product availability, and our production schedule.
Larger orders over $500: generally at least one week's notice. Large amounts of brisket or ribs, multiple proteins, sheet-pan items, whole cakes, and bulk desserts may need additional time. Weekend and holiday availability is limited, so the earlier you book, the better.
RUSH ORDERS
Any order placed with fewer than 7 days' notice requires a rush production fee starting at 20% of the total order. The fee may increase based on the notice given, the size and complexity of the order, product availability, staffing, and our schedule. Rush availability is not guaranteed. Please contact us before ordering for a date or time that is not available through the online catering menu.
FOR LARGER & CUSTOM ORDERS
Use the catering request form below instead of messaging us. Give us your headcount, date, and what you're after, and we'll confirm availability. One form, no back-and-forth.

Custom Menus & Quotes
Requests outside our standard menu offerings
(hamburgers, hot dogs, specialty menus, etc.) require additional planning, sourcing, labor, and pricing.
Custom menu requests require:
✔ A $150 non-refundable quote fee
✔ One proposal
✔ One standard modification
Additional revisions require additional fees.
Quote fees must be paid in advance prior to proposal development.
Consultation & Custom-Quote Policy
Requests beyond the selections and pricing already published on our online catering menu require a $150 non-refundable consultation and custom-quote fee before any custom work begins.
The fee applies when you request custom menu development, a personalized package, custom pricing, budget-based recommendations, custom quantity calculations, significant substitutions, a detailed proposal, specialized delivery/setup/staffing planning, or help deciding what to order.
The fee includes one custom proposal and one standard modification. We will not create a menu, calculate quantities, recommend selections, or provide custom pricing before the fee is paid.
The $150 fee is separate from the catering order payment. It does not reserve your event date, does not confirm the order, is not applied toward the order, and is non-refundable once consultation or proposal work begins.
Ordering directly from the published online menu does not require this fee unless you request custom planning, custom pricing, substantial modifications, or other services outside the published options.
Consultation and Custom-Quote Payment Option
This $150 non-refundable fee is required for custom menu development, custom pricing, personalized recommendations, quantity calculations, or proposal preparation. Please do not pay this fee until Big Bull’s Bang’n BBQ has reviewed your initial request and confirmed that we are available and willing to consider the service.

Purpose of the Catering Request Form
The catering request form is not a request for free pricing or a complimentary quote. Its purpose is to help us determine:
1. Whether we're available for your requested date and time.
2. Whether we're able to provide the requested service.
3. Whether you plan to order from our published menu or need custom planning.
4. Whether your stated budget is generally appropriate for the type and size of service requested.
After reviewing the form, we'll respond to confirm whether we're available and willing to consider the request. Submitting the form does not require us to prepare free pricing, develop a custom menu, recommend less expensive or alternative selections, calculate custom quantities, create a detailed proposal or provide a complimentary quote. We provide custom pricing, menus, or recommendations only after the required consultation and custom-quote fee has been paid.
