Rocklands Catering: A Backyard BBQ Dream Come True!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Rocklands Catering and the incredible job they did for my husband’s 50th birthday party last April. From start to finish, their team went above and beyond to turn our backyard into a festive, cozy BBQ party space that was perfect for celebrating such a special milestone.

Planning a sit-down event for 30+ people in a backyard can be a logistical challenge, but Rocklands made it feel effortless. They helped us think through every detail, from table placement to seating arrangements, ensuring that everyone had a comfortable spot while maintaining a warm and inviting atmosphere. Their expertise in transforming spaces is truly impressive—it felt like our backyard had been magically upgraded into the perfect party venue!

The food, of course, was absolutely phenomenal. We went all out and ordered the full roasted pig, which was finalized in a tent in our front yard and then beautifully displayed during the party. It was such a show-stopping centerpiece and a huge hit with our guests! As always, Rocklands delivered on all the other food items as well. The pulled chicken, wings, and sides like potato salad, collard greens, mac and cheese, and cucumber salad were all delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Every bite was a testament to their commitment to quality and flavor.

But what really stood out was the service. The Rocklands team was professional, friendly, and so attentive to every detail. They made the entire process stress-free and fun, allowing us to truly enjoy the celebration without worrying about logistics. Their creativity, hard work, and dedication turned what could have been a simple backyard gathering into an unforgettable event.

Thank you so much to the Rocklands team for helping us create such a fantastic party. You made my husband’s 50th birthday one to remember, and we’re already looking forward to working with you again for future celebrations! Highly, highly recommend!

We hired Rockland’s BBQ to cater a large retirement party. Their service was professional from the get-go. They were easy to work with and offered great suggestions to personalize the menu. Rockland’s team showed up on time, got everything set up, and they all had wonderful personalities and really cared about their service for our party. The food came freshly made and absolutely delicious !
When organizing such a large event, it is important for the planner to have a great relationship with the catering company. I felt 100% comfortable the entire planning process and knew what to expect from beginning to end. At the conclusion of the event, they offered leftovers for the remaining food and cleaned up, wonderfully at the end. Of course, the ribs and macaroni and cheese were the absolute favorites! The brisket was sliced to perfection and tender to eat. The amount of seasoning on all other food across the board was perfection! Thank you so much to Rocklands and we will definitely be using them again.

Rocklands Barbeque provided exceptional service, food, and catering expertise for a recent event with around 125 guests. Booking with them was very easy and they provided a wealth of knowledge on their food recommendations and any allergies we needed to be mindful of. The day of the event was met with similar exceptional service as they arrived on time, setup everything in a thoughtful way, and helped guests with their food and drinks. Many guests reached out after to compliment the catering team and ask for contact information for their own future events. I look forward to working with Rocklands Catering for future catering and event needs.

We use Rocklands every year for our annual pig roast event and it is ALWAYS a huge hit! The food is always delicious and they roast the pig right outside of our event. Always get a ton of compliments for the event and it's one of our highlights of the year.

We were extremely happy with Rocklands BBQ. They were very patient and accommodating as we figured out our catering needs for a medium sized party. The food was great and the staff who worked the party were responsible, kind and hardworking.
