About Us - Santa Barbara Barbeque Catering

About Us ~ Dedicated to Serving Our Clients

Owners Sidney Adams-Raney, Duncan, and David Raney

Santa Barbara Barbeque is a licensed, professional gourmet catering company based in Santa Barbara, California. Our forte and love is in offering and catering to our clients, a diverse menu of delicious hors d’oeuvres, entrees, and desserts, prepared on-location and using the freshest ingredients available. True to our name, we provide top-notch outdoor barbeque grilling, but we do much, much more. Whether it be a small intimate celebration or an event with over 1,000 guests, we can meet your needs.

We are dedicated to full-service gourmet catering at elegant weddings and rehearsal dinners, distinctive fund raisers, corporate and community events, birthdays, and anniversaries. We can meet your event needs at just about any location of your choice in or around Santa Barbara, Montecito, Santa Ynez, Ojai, and the beautiful central coast wine country.

Our company’s success and reputation are based on:

Serving great food recognized by repeat customers and testimonials.
On-site preparation and special attention to the use of the highest quality and freshest ingredients, produce, meat, poultry and fish we can find.
Use of locally grown produce and seasoning.
Event planning and management services that put your wishes, needs, and budget first.
Providing our clients a flawless, memorable, and worry-free event with our uncompromising attention to service and detail.
Commitment to reducing our “environmental footprint”.

Fundamental to our company’s quality service is our kitchen staff headed by our Executive Chef, Mr. Jaime Santillan. Professionally-trained with 15 years of experience, Chef Santillan has been with Santa Barbara Barbeque for six years. Chef Jaime, our sous chefs, and our kitchen staff have a passion for preparing great food and for working with each individual client to customize the menu needed for their specific event.

You can count on us for outstanding food, but we are not just a food catering company. We can assist you with all aspects of your wedding or event. If there are other unique requirements for your event, we are highly skilled and experienced in helping with these too, including responsiveness to special dietary needs. Don’t let our name fool you; we can do far more than barbeque grilling.

The goal of our company is very simple: we want each and every one of our clients and their guests to relax and enjoy a most memorable event, leaving the details to us. Santa Barbara Barbeque strives to be remembered for its impeccable service and our delicious food. If you are one of our many repeat clients, we thank you and welcome you back. If you are a new client we sincerely look forward to serving you.
