Public & private events
The Hang
Hanging & Suspension BBQ is our specialty. From intimate 20 person affairs to larger catered corporate retreats.
We have coined our signature event “The Hang.” It’s an hours-long tasting menu fire experience. Open Fire cooking is a way to return to the Earth, using primitive elements. We are passionate about cooking the way humans have for 1000s of years. When you come to a Hang, you feel the primal energy of the past.

“We had a rustic hang. Food over fire from the godesses and gods of fire themselves. An immersive culinary experience for all the senses. Incredible food & friendships forges beneath the backdrop of Mt. Chincogan, the Koonyum ranges & the old homestead.”
