Viking Barbecue brings competition-tested cooking, bold flavor, and genuine hospitality to events throughout Maine. From intimate celebrations to large gatherings, we build every menu around great food, generous portions, and the people sharing the table.
COMPETITION PROVEN
Award-Winning Barbecue. Earned at the Pit.
Before Viking Barbecue became a catering company, we spent years refining our craft in competition. Those contests helped shape the recipes, techniques, and standards we bring to every event. We continue to compete today—refining our recipes, sharpening our skills, and pushing ourselves to get better every time we fire the pits.

On-Site Smokehouse Experience
Our premium catering option begins the night before your event, when our team sets up and starts smoking your selected meats on location. Guests receive barbecue prepared fresh at the venue, followed by a staffed buffet and attentive meal service. This option includes food preparation, barbecue equipment, buffet setup, service, and removal of our catering equipment. Disposable plates, utensils, napkins, and serving supplies can also be included. Venue and fire-code restrictions apply.
Staffed Buffet Service
We prepare the food off-site, deliver it hot, arrange the buffet, and serve your guests. Our team keeps the line organized and stocked throughout the meal, then breaks down our catering station and removes our equipment.
Drop-off Catering
Freshly prepared barbecue delivered hot and ready to serve in labeled catering pans. We’ll provide simple setup instructions so you can manage the meal on your own schedule.
How We Serve Your Event
Every gathering calls for a different level of service. Viking Barbecue offers flexible catering options ranging from convenient delivery to an overnight, on-site smokehouse experience. We’ll help match the menu and service style to your venue, guest count, and occasion.
