About Smoked J&J

Smoked J&J is run by two friends — Jack and Jonathan — from Basking Ridge, New Jersey, who believe event food should be an experience, not an afterthought.

Everything we serve is marinated overnight and grilled over real charcoal right at your event — with certified halal meat available on any package. No warming trays, no shortcuts — just smoke, fire, and skewers served straight off the grill.

We keep our menu small so every single item is excellent.

Common Questions

Do you offer halal?

Yes — certified halal meat is available on every package as a premium option (+$5 per person). Just select it when you book and we'll source certified halal for your entire event. Supplier certificates available on request.

What's the minimum for booking?

Our catering minimum is 10 guests. Enter your best current estimate when requesting a quote so we can recommend the right package and staffing.

What area do you serve?

We're based in Basking Ridge, NJ and serve events within roughly an hour's drive — including Somerset, Morris, Union, and Middlesex counties. Ask about anything further out.

Do you need anything from the venue?

Just an outdoor space for our grill station. We bring everything else: grills, tent, tables, and serving equipment. Our charcoal grills stay in open air, safely away from structures.

How far in advance should I book?

We prefer at least two weeks’ notice, especially for weekends. Requests 1–3 days away cannot be accepted, so the calendar begins four days from today. Dates 4–13 days away may be requested but remain subject to availability. A deposit locks in your confirmed date.

What if it rains?

Our team cooks under all conditions with our canopy setup. For extreme weather, we'll work with you to reschedule.
