Saying job well done to your Chicago corporate team is always important. Get them out into nature and host a serene escape away from the office in the forest preserves of Cook County! Our team loves corporate picnics at Bunker Hill especially.

Choose a theme like Blue Ribbon with burgers, dogs and all the traditional sides, or go with a BBQ picnic theme with 18-hour smoked brisket and molasses baked beans. We’ll bring everything you need to keep your team full and entertained—you just have to get them there for a good time!

Whether your guest of honor is turning one or one hundred, we’ve catered birthday menus that will delight and please any palate. For the littlest ones, keep it simple with a picnic menu that features salsa verde mac and cheese, potato salad, corn on the cob and burgers and hot dogs.

Don’t forget the cookies and sweet endings! For the older ones in the crowd, maybe throw a themed birthday party like Oktoberfest and serve up bratwurst and schnitzel, German potato salad, and apple braised red cabbage with apple strudel for dessert. Oh, and you can’t forget the brews! No matter whose birthday you’re celebrating.

Are you getting married with the stunning forest preserve Bunker Hill as your setting? Don’t forget about the reception catering! While it may seem tricky to cater a full buffet meal at a picnic grove, we have it down.

We can offer a hot buffet with options like braised short ribs, herb-roasted chicken or an 18-hour BBQ beef brisket with all your favorite sides like roasted Yukon potatoes with rosemary and thyme. We can even close out your wedding reception with late-night menus that include some sweet s’mores stations or flatbreads!

Honestly, after being apart from friends and family for so long, who needs a reason to get together? Just host a Sunday tailgate pre-game, have a Saturday afternoon BBQ with friends just because or throw a welcome home party for friends who are visiting for the first time in a couple of years.

The options are endless. And the flexible outdoor venue options at Bunker Hill are perfect. We can put together make-your-own sandwich buffets with side salads, boxed meals that are easy to enjoy outdoors or even a hot made-to-order grill setup! The choice is yours. Let’s party!
