Meatings was born out of a simple tradition. What started as an annual gathering of family, friends and neighbours turned into an idea for something bigger. After watching my Dad host backyard barbecue parties for years, I decided to carry the torch and pursue my passion for good food and great times. Seeing the appetite for outdoor entertainment grow in my community, I began to realize the need for a company that could provide delicious barbecued food for any type of event. So I sold my car and bought a commercial rotisserie and started cooking for guests at different parties! After a few years of catering we decided to add to our services and now offer dine-in and take-out from our restaurant in Orleans. We also have satellite kitchens at Beau’s Brewery in Vankleek Hill and Overflow Brewery in Ottawa South. We’ve recently added an online store where you can order our signature products that we’ve cooked and sealed for freshness for you to heat at home!

From catering to restaurant to retail, our food – local, fresh and cooked to perfection – is second to none. If you’re going to indulge and eat meat, then eat Meatings!
