A mega-picnic is hosted by companies of more than 700 employees. These employees, together with spouses and children, combine to picnic in numbers of 2000 to 10,000.

For the mega-picnic, technique and equipment are everything. When a huge labor rally was held in Hamilton in February, 1996, BBQ Catering alone was retained to provide hot meals to the crowd of 100,000. 45,000 meals and 75,000 cups of coffee were made ready outdoors in freezing temperatures.

BBQ was the primary food subcontractor at the Hamilton Grey Cup games, November, 1996. On game day, BBQ ran 14 hot food stations in Ivor Wynn stadium, an additional 4 food stations in Scott Park, and supplied 400 gallons of hot water for hot chocolate. We served over 18,000 fans that day. Our target of serving a crowd of 2000 in under 30 minutes is always met. Because of this expertise we were asked to plan the food service at the Canada Day celebrations for one of the large steel mills in the area, July 1, 1997. Our plan unfolded without a hitch.   Effective communication at a large picnic is necessary, but difficult over the roar of 2000 screaming kids and entertainers. BBQ's catering staff are equipped with field radios and golf carts.   

At the centre of BBQ Catering outdoor operations is possibly the world's largest fry pan. This eleven foot fry pan was specially made to serve gourmet food to crowds. With their huge fry pan and various other secret weapons, BBQ Catering serves up the best outdoor menu around.
