Authentic, slow-smoked, and packed with bold flavour. From Stampede celebrations to corporate events and private parties, we bring the fire to every feast.
Calgary has two seasons: Winter and BBQ.
In this city, we live to grill. The smell of smoke on your clothes is a rite of passage, and the marriage of meat and grill becomes a mouthwatering experience.

Rare Cut BBQ is a signature catering experience by Great Events Catering, built on decades of culinary expertise and a passion for live-fire cooking. What began as a bold BBQ concept has evolved into one of Calgary’s most recognizable catered barbecue experiences – combining exceptional food, interactive cooking, and unforgettable atmosphere.
Backed by over 40 years of experience from Great Events Catering – one of Calgary’s most trusted catering companies – Rare Cut BBQ delivers more than just a meal. We bring the show, the smoke, and the flavour directly to your event.
Our custom BBQ trailers arrive fully equipped to create an immersive, on-site grilling experience. From perfectly seared steaks to slow-cooked favourites, guests are invited into the process as our chefs grill, carve, and serve fresh off the fire. It’s bold, high-energy catering designed to engage your guests and elevate any gathering.
Led by Corporate Chef Daryl Kerr, Rare Cut BBQ celebrates the craft of barbecue – quality cuts, honest techniques, and the joy of bringing people together around great food. Whether it’s a corporate event, wedding celebration, festival, or Stampede gathering, Rare Cut BBQ delivers a memorable experience rooted in flavour, hospitality, and fire.
Perfect for:
Corporate events & team celebrations
Weddings & private events
Festivals & large-scale gatherings
Stampede BBQs & Stampede breakfasts
Rare Cut BBQ isn’t just catering – it’s a live-fire experience designed to be seen, smelled, and savoured!
Great BBQ isn’t just about taste—it’s an experience.
Take a look at our sizzling steaks, slow-smoking meats, and crafting the ultimate BBQ spreads.
In late June 2024 we contracted RareCuts to cater our indoor/outdoor family party of about 130 people. Folks’ ages ranged from 2 to 92 and we had those with allergies and food sensitivities as well as vegetarians in attendance. Scott was pleasant and professional in managing our inquiries and requests. Calvin and the crew did a bang-up job all the way around. They were more than capable of adjusting to physical layout changes. It seems that everyone loved the food and no one had their allergies or food sensitivities triggered. A Texan barbeque aficionado in attendance was highly impressed with the brisket (and took a photo of the bottle of sauce), which is saying something! I’ll add that even highly-critical foodies adored their meals. My vegetarian plate was absolutely yummy. Would definitely contact RareCuts again!
We hired Rare Cut to cater my husbands 40th birthday this summer and we were super impressed with the communication and punctual service. The food was delicious, hot, and there was more than enough for what we ordered! Would hire again.
Whether you’re planning a Stampede event, a corporate gathering, or a backyard feast, we’re here to bring bold flavours straight to you.
