CATERING & EVENT MEATS — FROM AN 8-PERSON ROAST TO A 400-PERSON WEDDING.
Whole porchetta, charcuterie boards, marinated trays, smoker packages, and holiday menus — prepared by the GTA's family butcher since 1975.
Hosting is the easy part — if the food is handled. The Carvelli family has prepped meat for every kind of GTA event Markham throws: backyard barbecues, family weddings, corporate parties, banquet hall dinners, holiday extended-family roasts. Some are 8 people; some are 400. The standard is the same: real food made by real butchers, ready when you said you needed it, scaled to your headcount.
SIX WAYS TO FEED THEM
Whole Porchetta & Roasts
From $$ per person · 8–100+ guestsWhole rolled porchetta seasoned with garlic, rosemary, fennel, and cracked pepper, sized from 5 lbs (feeds 8–10) to 50+ lbs (feeds 50+). Also: bone-in prime rib roasts, whole roast turkey, leg of lamb, glazed hams. Delivered cooked and sliced, or oven-ready for your kitchen. Sides, sauces, and bread arrangements on request.
Charcuterie & Antipasto Boards
From $$ per board · sized for 6 to 60+ guestsBuilt boards with Italian prosciutto, sopressata, capicola, mortadella, casalingo, plus aged cheeses (Parmigiano, Beemster, Manchego, Brie), marinated vegetables, olives, dried fruits, nuts, jams, and crostini. Sized from intimate (6–8 people) to centrepiece (40–60+). Photogenic enough to anchor a buffet, generous enough to feed everyone.
BBQ & Smoker Packages
From $$ per person · 20–200+ guestsSmoker brisket, pulled pork, ribs, chicken, sausages — portioned by guest count, with proper rubs and sauces. Available smoked and ready to serve, or raw and rubbed with your smoker schedule. Sides (slaw, beans, cornbread, potato salad) arranged through our network of partners.
Marinated, Oven-Ready Trays
From $$ per tray · feeds 8–20 per trayChoose from ready-to-cook trays of marinated chicken in flavours like Memphis BBQ, lemon pepper, Cajun, tomato and herb, chimichurri jerk, coconut lime, and lemon herb, along with bone-in chops, kabobs, and stuffed pork loin. Simply bring home the tray and let your oven do the rest. Made for hosts who want the flavour and presentation of a home-cooked meal without spending the entire day in the kitchen.
Holiday Menus
Pre-order recommended 2+ weeks aheadEaster (whole lamb, ham, leg of lamb), Thanksgiving and Christmas (whole turkey, prime rib, glazed ham, porchetta), New Year's (charcuterie, beef tenderloin). Holiday demand is real — every year we sell out of holiday turkeys and prime rib roasts. Book early.
