I'm no kitchen expert, and cooking is more about necessity than passion for me—keeping it healthy is the goal. My husband isn't much different, except when summer hits and the grill comes out. Like many guys, he thrives behind the barbecue. But hosting a crowd at home? That's tricky. Do you prep everything yourself and spend hours in the kitchen, or opt for a smarter solution like renting a full BBQ setup? We tried the latter with De Barbecue Boer, and here's our honest take.

No matter their usual stance on cooking, most men transform into grill masters at the first sight of a barbecue. I'm all for it—it spares me hours at the stove, much like our experience with De Barbecue Boer (or Buffetten Boer, as we first heard it). Grilled meat outdoors is my favorite too: less fat, more flavor. Picture this: post-BBQ, everyone unwinding by a fire pit, kids playing and splashing in the pool. Pure bliss. The best part? No cleanup hassle. De Barbecue Boer delivers everything to your door and hauls away the dirty dishes afterward.
In our house, there's no debate—who mans the grill (hubby) and who shops (not him; guess three times). Organizing a BBQ means most effort goes into shopping, not grilling, and stocking up isn't the fun part. Enter online ordering from De Barbecue Boer: all the joy of a summer feast without the prep burden. Stock up on your own drinks (like Chardonnay—my specialty), as they're not included.
The Chardonnay flowed so well that after a dice game, our friends opted to crash instead of driving. Fun twist: their die decided "who cooks today," but it doubled as "who drives." Couples roll together—the loser fetches sleepover gear and keeps the party going. Feeding 10 adults and 10 kids meant 20 hungry mouths. Delivery was set for 17:00 but arrived at 18:05—kids were hangry, but the pro gas grill fired up burgers fast.
Options abound: basic, luxury (ours), meat-and-fish, vegetarian, halal, or gluten-free. Mix and match for all guests. De Barbecue Boer delivers it all—gas grill, crockery, kilos of meat, homemade salads, baguettes, satay sauce. They even handle dish pickup. Meats from a top butcher shone through in tender cuts and flavorful marinades. Arrange your own drinks and dessert. A win-win.
After fish, rub the grill with lemon to neutralize flavors—no salmon taste on your next satay skewer. For pro tips, reach out to De Barbecue Boer experts.
