About Reeves BBQ

Reeves BBQ is a Pembrokeshire-based food pop-up bringing authentic American-style barbecue to events across the county. Founded by husband and wife team Craig and Kate Reeves, the business has built a reputation for exceptional slow-cooked meats and a commitment to quality that sets them apart.

The Reeves BBQ Story

Craig honed his culinary skills working as a chef in Pembrokeshire before serving in the army. During lockdown, he rediscovered his passion for cooking through barbecue, finding the process therapeutic and rewarding. This renewed love for the craft led to the creation of Reeves BBQ.

After linking up with Owen and Michelle at the Pembrokeshire Chilli Farm, Craig and Kate began doing pop-ups throughout the county. They launched their social media presence in 2023, and the response has been building steadily ever since.

What Makes Reeves BBQ Special

Reeves BBQ's commitment to authentic barbecue means every cut of meat receives a minimum of 12 to 14 hours of slow cooking. Their menu features American-style sides rather than traditional Welsh accompaniments, creating an authentic transatlantic experience.

Despite the American influence, the Reeves remain dedicated to local sourcing, with meat supplied by Pendergrast Butchers. They've become known as "the home of pushed pork," their signature take on the barbecue classic.

The couple pride themselves on collaboration with other local businesses, having appeared at venues including Tenby Brewing Co, Narberth Food Festival, and Steynton Farm Pumpkin Patch. Their menus cater to all ages, with varied options for children alongside their signature dishes.

Services

Reeves BBQ offers regular pop-up events throughout Pembrokeshire, with plans to establish a monthly fixture at the Welfare Hall in Merlins Bridge on the first Saturday of each month. They also provide private event hire for parties and special occasions.

Craig works as a demo chef and the couple are expanding into video content on social media, with their authentic approach attracting attention from influencers and reviewers as far afield as Australia.

Seasonal Offerings

Reeves BBQ adapts their menu throughout the year, with special festive creations planned for the Christmas period including smoked turkey and playful seasonal dishes. Their flexibility and creativity keep regulars coming back for more.
