Spit Roast Catering Setup Ideas to Impress Your Guests

Layouts for Every Backyard Size

Don’t worry if your space is more courtyard than countryside. Caterking has experience with all types of venues—from cozy terraces in the Inner West to sprawling lawns on the Northern Beaches. For tighter spots, we suggest placing the cooking station in a corner and creating a self-serve buffet line that flows naturally to the seating area.

For large gardens, consider creating “zones”: a shaded dining area, a social lounge near the grill, and even a photo-worthy drinks station. The right layout maximises comfort and encourages interaction.

Enhancing Ambience: Lighting, Décor, and Table Styling

Want to elevate your spit roast beyond backyard barbecue vibes? Use festoon lighting for warmth, rustic tablescapes for charm, or even luxe floral centrepieces for weddings and engagements. Caterking’s team collaborates with decorators or provides styling support to match your event’s tone—from Boho-chic to classic elegance.

They’ve helped Sydney couples turn their backyards into reception-worthy spaces with coordinated linens, signage, and stylish buffet presentation. It’s catering that doubles as event design.
