Entertaining in the Backyard With Outdoor Food
Get ready for backyard entertaining with the perfect outdoor food. Whether you're grilling burgers or barbecuing ribs, having the right outdoor party food is a must. At Williams Sonoma, we've curated the very best food and drink items to complement your mains and sides. Discover the benefits of a tangy sauce, a savoury dry rub or a fruity cocktail mix.
Choosing Outdoor Food
When you're looking at our outdoor food selection, think about what your entertaining theme is going to be. Are you planning a cocktail party with friends or a casual cookout with family? Consider your setup as you browse our selection.
Barbecue & Grilling
When you're ready to punch up your favourite meats, chicken, fish or roasts, we've got sauces that can help. Choose from classics like a steak sauce or go bold at the barbecue with a BBQ sauce set. Dress pulled pork or minced meat with a taco starter sauce made from tomatoes, fire-roasted green chillies and spices. Coat your homemade meatballs with a tasty marinara sauce.
Rubs, Spices & Seasonings
Dry rubs are designed to be massaged into a piece of raw meat before cooking. This helps to infuse the meat with the flavours you love most. From smokehouse rubs to black truffle rubs, explore our selection to find the one that's right for you.
Seasonings are lightly sprinkled over meat, poultry, fish or vegetables and then cooked. There's no need to work the seasoning into the meat before cooking. Seasonings can also be used in a sauce or salad dressing. Our seasonings are made for a variety of dishes, from classic burger seasonings to our all-around blend that comes in a handy spice grinder for at-the-ready use.
Margarita Mixes
Our margarita mixes are sure to be a crowd pleaser at your next happy hour. Pour in a mix, add a dash of agave syrup and your go-to tequila and you've got yourself a margarita. A sampling of our fruity flavours includes organic peach, key lime and strawberry watermelon. We haven't forgotten about the salt. Discover our salt rimmers like red chilli or chilli lime that add an extra kick to your cocktail.
Cocktail Mixes
Like our margarita mixes, our cocktail mixes are designed to complement your favourite alcohol for a winning combination that results in a delicious drink. Discover our fruit-inspired mixes or add a few drops of bitters to a cocktail. Round out a weekend fiesta with our custom-blended sangria mix. Just add red wine or make it non-alcoholic by using sparkling water.
Outdoor Dining Essentials
After you've picked out outdoor food and drink aids for your next party, think about other must-have items you need. Explore our outdoor dinnerware collection for inspiration. Discover the benefits of durable, lightweight melamine which is featured in many of our outdoor-ready products. Find bright, uplifting patterns and styles on our dinner plates, dip bowls and platters that are sure to add lively character to your patio or deck.
