BBQ FAQ

We always have a number of questions about any given event.


Q: Why do some events cost more?


A: The size of your party, the menu selected, the location of your party, and any special requests will determine the price. Unlike our competitors, we do offer on-site BBQ service for smaller events with a custom menu.


Q: How soon will you get here?


A: We arrive at most jobs 2 1/2 hours prior to your selected serving time. This allows us ample time to set up our equipment, and cook your meal fresh. For out of town adventures, we always leave early enough to avoid traffic and other problems. We are well known for a prompt response and on-time service. Please allow us a 10-15 minute serving window for larger parties.


Q: How long will you be here?


A: 2 hours of service time come with all packages. We normally feed groups of 200 in under
an hour. For pig roasts, we always make sure your pig has been carved, and any mess is removed before we leave. Our goal is to provide excellent service for your event! If you need servers or cleanup crew to stay for an extended visit, we can arrange for that too!


Q: How many crew members will you have at our event?


A: For most parties of up to 200 guests, we bring a crew of 2-3 experienced BBQ crew members. For larger events, we always bring enough extra help to ensure your event goes smoothly.  There are no hidden "chef's" charges. If you do require extra help, we can provide it at an additional fee to cover labor expenses.


Q: How much space do you need for your trailer?


A: We cook off of a 12' trailer. With the truck included, we do need enough space to safely park at your event. It is also important that we have ample room to leave after your guests are fed and happy! If you have any questions, please ask us when you book your event. Please don't ask us to back into areas that are hard to access, or areas such as lawns where our equipment will do damage. We always treat your property like it was our own!


Q: What about entertainment?


A: We work with a number of entertainment professionals.


Q: How far in advance can I book my special day?


A: Please feel free to book as early as possible. We often serve at weddings that have been booked a year or more in advance! Holidays and certain times of the year are very popular.


Q: Why does that meat look undercooked?


A: What you are seeing is the smoke ring. Our slow smoked pig roasts are always so well done and tender the meat just falls apart. Most smoked foods will have a pink to light red tint. This shows that the food was cooked "low and slow" and not rushed like some commercial operations do. For health reasons, we always make sure our meats are properly cooked through. This is the same reason we do not offer rare hamburgers- the choice is done, or well done only!


Q: Do you provide beer and alcohol for your parties?


A: No, we do not! We are happy to recommend a beer and wine server, or a bartender to compliment your event. We often participate at weddings and other functions that require drink service. All licensing and applicable laws are to be observed by the event host. Under no circumstances will we provide alcohol to minors or impaired individuals.


Q: What about bad weather?


A: The Rolling Grill is a rain or shine operation! For outdoor events, please make alternate arrangements for an indoor serving and eating area. This being Georgia, we often participate at outdoor events. The weather can be unpredictable, especially during the summer months. If it rains don't worry- we will still provide you with fresh food in a timely manner.


Q: How about Insurance?


A: We carry a $100,000.00 dollar liability policy. Our insurance also gives you the option of having your event at a local or state park.


Q: Speaking of location, where can we have our party?


A: Just about anywhere our mobile BBQ can travel to. We have done events on the beach, at hospitals, at many local parks, and corporate locations.


Q: Can I change my menu or guest count?


A: If you would like to change your menu or the guest count, we will try our best to accommodate your needs. Certain foods such as pig roasts are hard to prepare for. We will try to make menu changes with a two week notice, and adjust your guest count with a one week notice.


Q: Speaking of guest count, what happens if my event draws less guests than planned for?


A: We are happy to provide great foods for smaller events. The price for our most popular menu selection is good for parties of 75 or more. Smaller parties cost more per person because the labor, fuel and other expenses do not change. If you book an event for 75 or more and the total falls below 75, there is an additional surcharge to cover expenses.


Q: Can I change my date?


A: Generally, the answer would be no. All of our dates are important to us. When we reserve your special day, it gives you the confidence to know we will be there for your event. It also prevents us from booking another party on that day, and loosing other business opportunities.


Q: How about vegetarian foods?


A: We offer a number of meatless dish's to keep your vegan friends happy! Let us know what your needs are, and we can prepare something tasty they are sure to enjoy!


Q: Do you provide any overage for guest counts that exceed contracted amount?


A: We guarantee your guest count will be served. We supply an additional 5% for unexpected guests If you know that your guests are heavy consumers, we suggest that more meals are ordered! You will be charged for 5% overage if used. 


Q: Do you offer Children Meals?


A:
Special children’s meal (hot dog with 2 side dishes for children under 6 years of age) $4.95 / child. Children under 3 years of age - no charge.
