Catering
The Barbecue They Came For
in the Quantity You Need
Haywood Smokehouse has been serving Western North Carolina since 2013. We offer full catering pickup at all three of our locations, and with enough advance notice we may be able to arrange delivery or full service catering.
Everything we cater is the same food we serve in our dining rooms. Slow-smoked over real hickory, every piece probe cooked, and made fresh the day you pick it up. Nothing precooked, nothing rewarmed, nothing brought in from somewhere else.
Order It Yourself, Right Now
No quote, no phone tag, no waiting on a callback. Pick your location, scroll to Bulk To-Go, and build your order. Up to 30 days out.
Pickup during our regular hours. Utensils and serving utensils are on the same menu.

Order Early

Weekends fill up first, so the sooner your order is in, the better we can plan around it.
