STREET FOOD 'N'
CATERING
OuR Story
this is a story all about how our lives got flipped, turned upside down
Smoke 'n' Barrel Street Food 'n' Catering is the product of chefs Chris Geary and Cory Blackburn. The pair met in January 2O17 while working in a café in the Christchurch CBD and began discussing their mutual passion for traditional cooking and 'slow food'. Chris built his first barrel smoker from a hot water cylinder and became a regular fixture at markets, festivals and events around Canterbury. Since then the company has developed down-to-earth catering menus, and in August 2O18 opened a container restaurant in downtown Christchurch. As the city became less transitional, the container moved to become a permanent fixture at the iconic Riccarton Sunday Market and the team joined forces with Brew Academy, pairing their smoky treats with excellent craft beer and brewing classes.

Thank you very much for putting on such a wonderful spread for our wedding. We didn't make it easy for you, but you out-did yourselves. We are really excited you could come back and cater our one year party — Timothy & Jenny Fife
Visiting from the US and decided to swing by and try the brisket. Very good at a very reasonable price. — Logan
