Clovis Events & Venues We Love to Cater
Clovis has a unique character that shapes its events, and we've had the pleasure of catering at many of the city's most beloved venues and gathering spots:
- Old Town Clovis — The historic heart of Clovis is home to charming shops, restaurants, and community events. We've catered private parties and celebrations in the Old Town area that capture the city's western spirit.
- Clovis Rodeo grounds — The Clovis Rodeo is one of the biggest events in the Central Valley, and BBQ is the perfect match for rodeo season. We cater pre-rodeo gatherings, watch parties, and post-rodeo celebrations that keep the cowboy spirit alive.
- Sierra Vista Mall area — Corporate events, business lunches, and team celebrations for the many businesses along Shaw and Herndon in Clovis's commercial corridor.
- Sierra Bicentennial Park — One of Clovis's most popular parks for family reunions, birthday parties, and community picnics. Our mobile setup works perfectly in outdoor park settings.
- Clovis Community Center & local churches — Indoor events, church gatherings, and community fundraisers throughout Clovis.
- Harlan Ranch & Loma Vista neighborhoods — Clovis's newer neighborhoods host some of the best backyard parties in the Valley, and our catering brings an extra level of flavor to these gatherings.
Why Clovis Chooses Mel's BBQ
Clovis residents expect the best, and they don't settle for shortcuts. That's exactly why Mel's BBQ resonates with this community. Our meats are smoked low and slow over real wood — ribs until they're fall-off-the-bone tender, and tri-tip to medium-rare perfection. We use time-honored techniques and quality ingredients because that's what authentic BBQ demands, and Clovis demands authenticity.
The western heritage of Clovis runs deep, and BBQ is a natural fit for the city's culture. Whether it's a Big Hat Days celebration, a Buchanan High or Clovis High graduation party, a wedding reception at a local venue, or a corporate event for one of the thriving businesses along the Shaw corridor, our BBQ catering brings people together in a way that feels right for Clovis.
