Red, White & BBQ | CATERING FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY

Is there a better smell in early July than charcoal getting going in the backyard? Around here, the Fourth means flags on the porch, a cooler full of something cold, and a crowd of people who showed up hungry. The only catch is that somebody usually ends up stuck behind the grill while everyone else is down by the water. For 40 years, B&M Catering Co. has had a simple fix for that: let us do the cooking. You handle the fireworks and the good time.

BBQ That Tastes Like Summer

Our BBQ catering is built for exactly this kind of day. Picture BBQ baby-back ribs, pulled pork, BBQ chicken, Texas chili, and all the sides that make a plate feel like a holiday — cowboy beans, mac n’ cheese, coleslaw, and warm cornbread. We can cook it right in your yard with our full-service catering crew working the fire, or simply drop it off ready to serve so you can skip the cooking altogether. Want to turn it up a notch? Add a pig roast or a Hawaiian luau spread and you’ve got the kind of centerpiece guests still talk about in August. Either way, nobody leaves hungry. That has been the rule since brothers Brian and Mickey Doherty first started cooking for friends and neighbors decades ago.

Don’t Forget the Clambake

This is New England, after all. Plenty of our customers want the red, white, and blue spread with a little salt air mixed in, and a clambake delivers exactly that: lobster, steamed clams and mussels, chowder, corn on the cob, and red bliss potatoes, all brought right to the party. It pairs surprisingly well with a tray of ribs, too. Hosting family from out of state, or want to send a taste of home to someone who can’t make it back? Our Clambakes To Travel kits let folks pack it, cook it, and eat it wherever the Fourth finds them.

Party Platters & the Classics

Not every gathering needs a full production. Sometimes you just want great food on the table and time to actually enjoy your guests. Our party platters and drop-off menus do the heavy lifting — salads, sides, sandwiches, and crowd-pleasers ready to set out and serve. Add a beverage spread, and you have yourself a party with hardly any setup.

And of course, no Independence Day is complete without burgers and dogs. Americans put away roughly 150 million hot dogs on the Fourth of July alone, and we’re happy to keep your corner of Rhode Island, South Coast Massachusetts, or Eastern Connecticut well stocked. Burgers hot off the grill, hot dogs with all the fixings, and the kind of easygoing menu that keeps the kids and the grandparents equally happy. It’s the comfort food everyone secretly hopes to see at a summer cookout.

Easy Entertaining, Zero Stress

Here’s the part people love most: we bring the paper goods, condiments, serving utensils, and trash removal, and we even pack up the leftovers before we go. You don’t lift a finger except to flag down seconds. If you caught our Father’s Day cookout post, you already know the drill — summer hosting in Southern New England just got a whole lot easier. The grill stays cold for you, and the celebrating stays front and center where it belongs.
