What to Expect
Your Grillmeister arrives 1-2 hours early to set up the grill stations, charcoal, and serving area. Expect a full outdoor setup: large kettle or barrel grills firing up, sides being laid out buffet-style, and the smell of smoked meat filling the air. The Grillmeister manages all live cooking — from brisket and pulled pork to burgers and substantial vegetarian options like smoked tofu, stuffed portobello, and halloumi. Sides are arranged on a separate station: coleslaw, seasonal salads, corn on the cob, and bread baskets. For larger groups (50+), multiple grill stations keep wait times short. A craft beer and lemonade station is the natural companion — most caterers can arrange this as an add-on. The live grilling creates a social focal point where guests naturally gather, watch the cooking, and start conversations. The format is relaxed and unhurried — events typically last 2-4 hours with the Grillmeister staying throughout. Guests return for seconds and thirds, try different options, and settle into that easy summer mood. Most caterers bring everything: grills, charcoal, serving stations, plates, and cutlery. You just need outdoor space with a flat surface. Cleanup is included.

Best Locations in Frankfurt
Main riverfront venues in Sachsenhausen offer scenic waterfront settings with the skyline as backdrop — the most atmospheric location for outdoor grilling. Garden venues near the Palmengarten in Westend provide green, sheltered spaces ideal for larger groups. For a nature escape, Taunus foothills venues (30 minutes from the city) offer forest-edge grilling spots with hiking before or after.
Tips from Our Team
- 1.
Check the venue's grill policy before booking — not all outdoor spaces allow open flames. Confirm charcoal versus gas grill options.
- 2.
Plan for 45-60 minutes of setup time before guests arrive — charcoal grills need time to reach temperature. Gas grills are faster but less atmospheric.
- 3.
Always have a weather backup plan. For outdoor BBQs, a covered terrace or nearby indoor space prevents cancellation anxiety.
- 4.
Add lawn games (cornhole, pétanque, giant Jenga) to fill the time between food rounds — BBQ events need activities to avoid the 'standing around eating' problem.
