About Us

Hi there, my name is Tim Chillingworth, owner of Roadhouse Barbecue.

My Barbecue business  was born on the back of my restaurant in Sydney's Bovine & Swine which

I partnered with Wes Griffith. 

After moving to Melbourne  I started up a pop-up barbecue business doing a lot  of festivals and  racing carnivals, before moving into Starward Whiskey Distillery in Port Melbourne as Roadhouse Barbecue. From there I also ran the kitchen at live music venue The Spotted Mallard in Brunswick until  the virus hit which closed the venue under that management.  We have  also ran amazing Pop-ups at Future Mountain Brewery in Reservoir and just finished up at Alchemy Brewery in Brunswick as well as many festivals and events in-between.

My Barbecue is definitely a simple Texas style, but I've added a lot of variations on the meals, sauces and options to keep it fresh, including flavourful hot link sausages, tasting plates, loaded fries and tacos. 

 Non-meat eaters are catered for on my menu's with delicious veggie burgers amongst other things.

I'm very studied and "seasoned" on my cooking technique and am proud to punch out some of the tastiest and most tender meat in town. 

We are currently residing at Princes Park Bowling Club in Carlton as their in-house caterer for all their functions and events.

Cheers
