The arrival of the new year is always special, but this year it’s 2020; not just a new year, but a brand new decade! As we look back on how far we’ve come, we feel proud of the ways our business has grown, and also inspired for the new things we’re welcoming in 2020. From launching two brand new menus to supporting local charities with a lineup of Nonprofit Nights, we have so much to be excited for this year! 

 New Flavors
At Elsmere BBQ we are kicking off the new year with a fresh new Gatherings Menu and Full Service Catering Menu. These new menus have been designed to feature our most popular menu options and sides in portions fit for big groups. Our Gatherings Menu is designed to pick up before your gathering, and features mix and match combinations of our BBQ meats, appetizers, and sides. We know how to feed a crowd - even when everyone in the crowd enjoys different things, so our Gatherings Menu includes vegetarian choices and extra sauce options. If you’re hosting a gathering of 10-30+ people in 2020, this menu is the way to go! 

 If you’re planning a larger event in 2020 and are prepared to place your order at least 2 weeks in advance, then our new and improved Full Service Catering Menu is just what you need. Elsmere BBQ Full Service Catering includes delivery, setup and service of your order - giving you the Elsmere BBQ experience wherever your event is taking place. As you’re planning your event, we hope you’ll consider taking a look at our new Full Service Catering Menu. Not only do we have options for every taste and dietary requirement, we can help your customize your order to make sure it fits seamlessly into your event. 

New Opportunities to Give Back
With each passing year, our Nonprofit Nights gain popularity, and with good reason. After all, they’re a great opportunity for nonprofit organizations to gain exposure while attracting participation and donations. To date, Elsmere BBQ locations have hosted more than 300 Nonprofit Nights for 212 organizations, and in the past 3 years we have donated approximately $60,000‬ to Maine Nonprofits. If you want to learn more about how a Nonprofit Night at Elsmere BBQ could benefit your organization, we encourage you to visit our Nonprofit Night Page and sign up as soon as possible, because spaces fill up fast. We would love to help support your organization in 2020.

The arrival of a new year is an opportunity for growth, change, and improvement, not just for individuals, but for businesses like Elsmere BBQ. We believe that there are always ways for us to improve, so we’re asking for your input, suggestions, and ideas. For us, the most important thing will always be pleasing our customers, so if there are ways you’d like to see us improve in this new year, we would love to hear them! Share your thoughts and suggestions by emailing us, or leaving a comment on social media. We can’t wait to hear from you, and we truly value your input. With your insight and opinions, 2020 will be our best year yet!

Happy New Year from Elsmere! We hope your January is full of good food, winter fun, and time spent with family and friends. We hope to see you at either (or both) of our two locations in 2020.
