BBQ Party
Celebrate a special occasion with a delicious barbecue, great company and a relaxed atmosphere at KOMAEN in Oirschot
The smell of the barbecue, a table full of delicious food and guests chatting and laughing together. That's what a BBQ party should feel like. At KOMAEN in Oirschot, you can celebrate a birthday, anniversary or special occasion the North Brabant way: great food, raising a glass and enjoying good company.
No formal dinner or strict schedule, just a relaxed barbecue celebration where everyone feels welcome. With a varied selection of dishes, there's something tasty for different preferences. Explore the options for barbecuing together at KOMAEN, available for groups of 15 or more. And with indoor barbecue options too, the weather doesn't have to dictate your plans.
At KOMAEN, welcoming event spaces and hospitality come together in one location in Oirschot, close to Eindhoven and Tilburg. Tell us what you're celebrating and how many guests you're expecting. We'll be happy to help you plan a BBQ party you'll enjoy just as much as everyone you've invited.
When the grill gets going, everyone naturally comes together
There's always someone who's first to see what's cooking on the grill. Someone else goes to get a drink and ends up in a conversation along the way. Guests who have never met suddenly have something to talk about. And the organiser? There's no need to keep announcing the next activity. The barbecue already brings the party to life.
That's what makes a BBQ party so enjoyable. You can celebrate something special without making the occasion feel formal. The grill becomes a natural gathering point, while everyone is free to chat, move around or settle down with something delicious.
At KOMAEN in Oirschot, this relaxed way of dining comes together with a welcoming venue surrounded by North Brabant's greenery. A birthday with friends, a family anniversary or a celebration with colleagues becomes a laid-back occasion without compromising on the food.
A birthday, family gathering or team celebration? Let the barbecue suit your guests.
A barbecue with fifteen friends feels different from a party with eighty family members. And a team celebrating an achievement may want a different atmosphere from someone marking an anniversary with several generations.
The beauty of a BBQ party is that there's no single way to organise it. Great food is at the heart of the occasion, but the experience also depends on how much freedom you want your guests to have and what else you'd like to include.
So when you're organising your BBQ party, don't just share your guest numbers. Tell us what you're celebrating and the atmosphere you have in mind. That makes it much easier to discuss suitable barbecue arrangements, event spaces and any additional wishes.
Be the grill master yourself or spend the whole evening enjoying your guests?
A barbecue naturally gets people moving. Someone checks what's ready, another guest tries something different and before long everyone is discussing their favourites. For some groups, grilling together is half the fun. Others would rather enjoy the food without having to think about preparing it.
At KOMAEN, you can discuss the barbecue arrangements that best suit your group. Think about how involved you'd like guests to be at the grill and how much time you want to spend enjoying the party yourself.
Guests who enjoy cooking at the grill have something to do together straight away. It encourages conversation without needing to organise separate activities.
Would you rather spend your time talking to guests? Ask about the options for assistance with grilling or having the food prepared for your group.
Who takes care of the cooking and how it is organised will depend on the arrangement you choose. Discussing this beforehand ensures you know what to expect on the day.
From the first bite off the grill to the final serving, there should be something delicious for everyone
Some guests look forward to a delicious piece of meat, while others prefer fish or vegetarian food. At a barbecue party for a group, having plenty of variety is just as important as creating the right atmosphere.
KOMAEN offers barbecue arrangements with meat, fish and vegetarian options. The exact dishes and sides depend on the package you choose. Taking the group's preferences into account beforehand helps everyone enjoy the meal.
A useful tip: ask about dietary requirements and allergies when you send out your invitations. That helps avoid last-minute surprises. KOMAEN can explain which adjustments may be possible; please note there is no separate allergen-free kitchen.
At KOMAEN, a great barbecue starts long before the grill is lit
Flavour matters at a BBQ party. But so does choosing the right ingredients and suppliers. Wherever possible, KOMAEN works with regional products and partners with several meat suppliers from North Brabant.
Vers Vlees Boerderij Polsdonk, a local farm, is one of KOMAEN's suppliers.
KOMAEN also works with Poelier Kapteijns for chicken products.
De Heyde Hoeve is another supplier named by KOMAEN.
The products included in your barbecue will depend on the arrangement you choose. What matters is that the kitchen pays attention not only to preparation but also to where its ingredients come from.
All the atmosphere of a barbecue, without constantly checking the weather forecast
A BBQ party on a warm summer evening is wonderful. But celebrations are often planned months ahead. You can hardly move a birthday, anniversary or company party just because rain appears in the forecast.
That's why it's convenient that KOMAEN offers both indoor and outdoor barbecue options. The most suitable setting depends on your group size, preferred date and the available spaces. So a BBQ party doesn't have to be reserved for summer.
Fresh air, the terrace and the smell of food on the grill give a celebration that unmistakable BBQ atmosphere.
Discuss which outdoor space is available and what arrangements can be made if the weather changes.
Planning a barbecue in autumn or on a rainy day? KOMAEN also has options for barbecuing indoors in an event space.
That makes organising a BBQ party outside the summer months much easier.
It's worth discussing the location and any arrangements for bad weather when making your enquiry. That way, you'll have a clearer idea of what is possible before inviting everyone.
BBQ parties from 15 guests, with room for bigger celebrations
You don't need to organise a huge event to enjoy a barbecue at KOMAEN. Options are available for groups of at least 15 people. That makes a BBQ party a great idea for a close group of friends, a family birthday or a team celebrating together.
For a larger gathering, the event space and layout become more important. Where will you welcome your guests? How will everyone move around during the meal? And is anything planned for after the barbecue?
With fifteen to a few dozen guests, you can create an informal gathering where everyone has opportunities to talk and enjoy the food.
For a bigger celebration, space to move around, dining arrangements and your preferred layout all deserve attention.
KOMAEN also has several event rooms for different types of parties and group gatherings. If you're planning a larger celebration with drinks or a festive continuation after the barbecue, it's worth discussing which event space will suit the entire programme.
No three-course timetable. Just an evening that finds its own rhythm.
Traditional dinners often follow a series of courses. Barbecues work differently. Something goes onto the grill, guests try what's ready and then head back to their conversations. It's this relaxed pace that makes a barbecue so enjoyable for a celebration.
At KOMAEN, approximately 2.5 to 3 hours is a useful guideline for the barbecue itself. It's worth allowing enough time in your plans so guests can enjoy the different dishes without feeling rushed.
There's no need for a complicated schedule. A welcoming start, enough time for the barbecue and a suitable ending often provide everything you need.
Fifteen guests or fifty? Choose a barbecue that suits the size of your celebration.
Not every BBQ arrangement is designed for the same group size. Rather than starting with the dishes, think first about how many guests you're inviting and the kind of dining experience you'd like.
An accessible choice for birthdays, family gatherings, parties with friends and team celebrations.
The focus is on an easy-going barbecue experience where delicious food and good company naturally come together.
For larger gatherings, KOMAEN also offers the Smoking Hot BBQ Dinner as a separate dining concept.
Ask about the current arrangements and availability so you can compare which option best suits your event.
Still deciding whether a barbecue is the right option? For a larger group, you can also explore other group dining experiences, including buffets and street food. This helps you choose what fits the celebration rather than simply choosing by group size.
Two ways to make the barbecue the highlight of your celebration
A family gathering often benefits from a relaxed beginning and plenty of time to catch up. For a team party, the barbecue might be the starting point for a livelier evening. Both approaches can work, provided you leave enough time to enjoy the food.
For inspiration: these are sample programmes, not fixed packages or guaranteed start and finish times. The actual schedule, event space and barbecue arrangements must be agreed with KOMAEN in advance.
Organising a BBQ party is more enjoyable when you're not busy managing everything all evening
Barbecuing at home is great, but hosting a large group also means plenty of preparation: shopping, preparing the food, organising drinks, finding enough seats and cleaning up afterwards. Before you know it, you're spending more time working than celebrating.
If you're organising a BBQ party at KOMAEN, it helps to think through these points beforehand:
Barbecues are available from 15 people. Share a realistic estimate so suitable arrangements can be discussed.
An informal birthday often calls for a different experience from a large anniversary or company celebration.
Discuss your preferred setting and any arrangements for poor weather. Available spaces depend on the date and group size.
Share preferences for meat, fish, vegetarian or halal food, along with any allergies, well in advance.
Would you like to get involved at the grill or have the preparation taken care of? Ask what is possible with your chosen arrangement.
An approximate budget and a clear idea of the programme will help you explore a BBQ arrangement that suits your plans.
These choices will help you avoid making separate decisions that don't quite fit together. And on the day itself, you'll have more time to enjoy the people you've invited.
