Spring is here, which in Roanoke means except for a lovely ½ day sometime this month or next,  the weather will vacillate between frigid winter cold and summer heat. But as barbeque and outdoor lovers, we won’t let that stop us from enjoying a BBQ picnic!

April 23 is National Picnic Day, so between the change of season, Easter, and other Spring holidays and festivals, there couldn’t be a better time for us to discuss your next BBQ picnic. 

What Makes BBQ an Ideal Picnic Food? 

Have you ever planned a picnic? How did it go? 

Picnics, like any planned meal, can be a little tricky. Naturally, you need to ensure you have the right amount of food for the people attending but also the right utensils, napkins, etc. 

You have to contend with outdoor challenges like bugs, wind, sun, and sharks – ok, probably not sharks. 

And you must pick the right foods. 

We can’t help you with sharks, but to our minds, BBQ is the perfect picnic food. It travels very well and is delicious, hot, cold, or anything in between. It’s also easy to divide into portions and eat without cutting. If you get sandwiches or wings, you don’t even need folks and knives.

BBQ Picnic Made Easy

While we all love a good pig roast or clambake, we don’t all want to put together the whole shebang ourselves. That’s where your favorite BBQ restaurant comes in! We take care of it all so you can focus on spending time with your loved ones. 

The Ordering

Fans of Due South already know that our to-go ordering system is easy! You have choices – either call ahead and put in your order or do it through our website. Either way, we’re happy to serve you. 

The BBQ

Everything available for dine-in meals is also available for takeout, from our delicious, rich, and savory meats like chicken wings and brisket to our scrumptious sides like mac and cheese, hushpuppies, and smoked taters. You can’t go wrong!

The Extras

Finally, as we briefly alluded to in our first section, picnics need more than food. So Due South has you covered for all your other BBQ picnic needs. 

Whether you order through the phone or our website, just let us know how many sauces, napkins, forks, and drinks you need, and we’ll make sure you’re well-prepared whether you’re feeding yourself or a crowd. 

What About a Bigger BBQ Picnic or Other Gathering?

Of course, if you’re throwing a big shindig, you might want a little more help. Some BBQ picnics are for whole companies, schools, churches, or other giant crews. That’s why Due South also offers catering. 

When you get Due South to cater your BBQ picnic, you don’t just get the food, utensils, plates, and napkins. You also get people to set up, serve you, and clean up when you’re done. That means you don’t need to worry about any of the picnic parts of the picnic. 

No Need to Picnic Panic           

With Due South on your team, there’s no need for a picnic panic. You have everything at your fingertips to celebrate National Picnic Day and any other occasion where a BBQ picnic can improve the situation. And, let’s be honest, are there any situations it wouldn’t improve?
